Artist Lecture Series

Watkins’ Community Education Program is committed to the institution’s mission of creating a learning-centered environment. Through the Artist Lecture Series, Watkins engages the minds of our students and community members by inviting world-renowned visual artists, filmmakers, graphic designers, interior designers, and photographers to campus to offer talks, panel discussion, student critiques and to exhibit in the Brownlee O. Currey, Jr. Gallery. Previous artists have included David Berman, Sam Dunson, Ming Fay, Teri Jones, and Faith Wilding. The 2008/2009 Artist Lecture Series will present Barry Cook and Jeff Silva. Watkins thanks Regions Bank and Millenium Maxwell House Hotel for the generosity of their sponsorship of this series.
