Watkins College of Art at Belmont.
As of December 9, 2020, Watkins College of Art is now the Watkins College of Art at Belmont University. This merger of these two great institutions, both more than 130 years old, allows for the Watkins College of Art to thrive for years to come as part of a larger and financially stable institution that can offer greater resources and opportunities to art, design and film students.
