I Hope I Make You Proud – Jeremy Biggers: A Retrospective
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.

Regarding the Ashcan & The Eight
Exhibition on Display: Jan. 27–April 5, 2026Gallery HoursTues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m; Closed Mon. Rejecting what traditional art institutions considered appropriate, these artists embraced a loose painterly style to portray factories and immigrants, congested urban streets and bawdy entertainments. Some praised the artists as "creating a national art" while others dismissed them as painters of rubbish or "ashcans." The Eight included five realists: Everett Shinn, Robert Henri, John Sloan, William Glackens, and George Luks, and three other artists: Arthur B. Davies, Ernest Lawson, and Maurice Prendergast, who painted in a less realistic, more impressionistic style.
