DES MOINES, IA (PNAN) – On Thursday, September 25, 2025, beginning at 6:00 pm, in the Levitt Auditorium at the Des Moines Art Center, artist Jeffrey Gibson will be the 35th featured speaker during the Fingerman Lecture series.
For over two decades, this interdisciplinary artist, curator, and convener has explored how language, pattern, and music construct meaning, synthesizing Indigenous and Western traditions through vibrant color, complex patterning, and layered sound. Gibson is also celebrated for his painting, installation, video, and performance work.
