As a free museum to the public, the Biggs Museum of American Art is here to serve not only as a community resource but also to contribute in great measure to making the community a spectacular place to work and live. In addition to welcoming over 15,000 visitors each year, the Biggs Museum serves as a community resource for art and history, offering a calendar of diverse programming to the community including:
