GCCA is so excited to introduce the 2026–2027 class of the Brandon Fellowship, a program recognizing outstanding talent and potential among local emerging artists ages 18–25. We’re excited to support this year’s Fellows and see what they create over the coming year.

This year’s cohort includes Hassan Abu-Jodom, Havva Dokmeci, Kat Martin, and Shakira Olivera-Bautista.

The new Fellows have been moving into their studios and will be ready to welcome you tonight from 5:00–8:00 PM during GCCA NightShifts. Come meet the artists, visit their new spaces, and connect with the next generation of Greenville artists.

And there’s plenty more happening tonight! We’ll also open our new exhibition, “commUNITY,” feature a pop-up Art School Exhibition, offer family activities, and have beverages and snacks available throughout the evening.

Join us tonight for an evening of art, creativity, and community!
