His work has been exhibited across the U.S. and internationally in China\, the Netherlands\, Spain\, Montevideo\, Uruguay\, and Berlin. A mixed media sculptor and educator\, Bigley worked as Assistant Professor of Art\, Sculpture at Spelman College in Atlanta\, Ga. for five years. He is currently a full-time lecturer of Art at Appalachian State University and is a founder and the executive director of the Western North Carolina Sculpture Center and Park in Lenoir\, NC.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				A special thanks to the Rosen family\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Martin & Doris Rosen\nVision\, generosity\, and a pursuit of excellence are some of the many qualities that characterized the lives of Martin and Doris Rosen. From their years devoted to building a successful business\, to their lives after retirement\, revolving around family\, philanthropy\, and a commitment to the arts\, this exceptional couple left an indelible mark on the communities in which they lived and worked. \nThanks to the continuing generosity of the Rosen Family\, Martin and Doris’s legacy of support for quality visual arts programming has been continued by their children\, and enables this beloved exhibition program to continue to develop and flourish. In July 1997\, the Rosens donated Hephaestus\, a large commissioned sculpture by Bruce White\, to Appalachian State’s Permanent Collection\, and it adorns the Rivers Street frontage area of the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts to this day. \nOn the occasion of the Rosens’ 50th wedding anniversary in October 1999\, their children established the Martin and Doris Rosen Scholarship to assist rising junior or senior art majors at Appalachian State. Tireless supporters of the arts\, the Rosen Family has given so much of themselves over the years to ensure that the arts remain a strong foundation of campus and community life in the High Country. We wish to extend to them our deepest appreciation. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Parking\nParking can be challenging\, particularly for sold-out events.
