Megan Williams is a curator and writer with twenty years of experience in leadership, programming and management roles across the university art museum sector. Since 2016, she has been the Manager of UniSC Art Gallery. The Art Gallery presents a program of exhibitions by leading local, national and international artists that are research-led, inquiry-based and shaped by the university’s commitment to enabling opportunities for our communities to participate meaningfully with UniSC. In 2020, Megan led a major redevelopment of UniSC Art Gallery that expanded exhibition and storage space and re-positioned the Gallery as the leading public gallery in the Sunshine Coast region. Before joining UniSC, she worked at QUT in a range of curatorial and programming roles across QUT Art Museum, the William Robinson Gallery, the Creative Industries Precinct and The Cube.

As a researcher, Megan has a portfolio of non-traditional research outputs (NTROs) realised as major exhibitions and accompanying publications. These NTROs have attracted nationally competitive funding and highly visible public outcomes. Recent examples include Final Call an exhibition about climate change that was realised as a physical exhibition in Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Gardens and online. The digital platform demonstrated new ways of presenting exhibitions online and received national and international engagement. A recent monograph Michael Cook 2010-2020 has also received national and international attention and is stocked by art gallery bookshops across Australia and northern Europe.
