On view from November 1 through December 31, this exhibition highlights Jiggetts’ remarkable journey as an arts patron, shaped by decades of collecting and mentorship under the esteemed Ron Ollie. Featuring works that trace a lineage of creativity, culture, and community, the show celebrates the deep legacy of Black art and the collectors who preserve it.
