Explore the life and legacy of Virginia native Benjamin Wigfall (1930–2017), an artist, professor, and community organizer who pushed the boundaries of traditional printmaking techniques. Learn about his early years in Richmond, where he grew up, before he attended Hampton Institute (now University) where he returned to teach until the early 1960s.
