Hanging at the Biggs
Public Tile Project
Hanging at the Biggs is a permanent tile art display of images supplied by supporters of the Biggs Museum of American Art. It is similar to a commemorative brick project, but with color pictures! You can become a part of the Biggs Museum history with a customized wall tile: children’s art, family photographs, fine art, quotes, company logos, commemorative dates and much more can be scanned and printed on glass to show community pride. The Hanging at the Biggs public tile project will be installed on the walls of the Museum’s new entrance beginning in Fall of 2013.

Images can be printed on up to four, four-inch-square, contiguous tiles. Customized four-inch tiles are $50 each. Mail an image on disc, email your picture, scan your work at the Museum or sign up for one of the Hanging at the Biggs workshops and leave your lasting impression at the Museum’s new entrance! All proceeds to benefit “The New Biggs."

Current exhibitions
The Projectionist
March 1 – June 23, 2013
The Projectionist is a documentary, book and multi-media exhibition that explores one man’s lifelong fascination with the golden ago of film and, in particular, the grand movie palace. The exhibition features a fully operational 1920s style movie theater that was created in the basement of Middletown native, Gordon Brinckle. A documentary, created by Kendall Messick, provides a penetrating gaze into the life of this self-taught artist. The narrative follows the course of Brinckle’s life, revealing the profound desire, frustration and motivation that propelled him to create such a distinctive outsider art environment. Original works on paper by Brinkle such as blueprints and floor plans and fine art photographs by Messick of Brinkle operating the theater will also be on view.
