Exhibition on Display: Jan. 30–May 2, 2026Gallery HoursTues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m; Closed Mon. Tracing his journey from his formative years at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts to national exhibitions and high-profile collaborations with brands such as Nike, IBM, and the NBA, Biggers has an ability to move seamlessly between canvas, wall, and camera. Drawing deeply from personal experience, Biggers employs a bold visual language—anchored by his signature "hyper-red"—to express aspiration, resist complacency, and invite reflection. This retrospective reveals an artist committed not only to pushing creative boundaries but also to fostering meaningful dialogue, encouraging viewers to consider their own identities, and exploring how art can inspire connection, growth, and pride.   This exhibition spans more than 10 years of Biggers' work in drawing and painting. 

Join the Performance and Visual Studies program for a screening of the 1999 film "Cookie's Fortune," directed by the legendary Robert Altman, who was known for a unique improvisatory and collaborative working method on set. Lovett and screenwriter Anne Rapp will discuss their work with Altman and this creative, team-focused way of creating cinema.
