Multi-disciplinary artist Dwight White straddles the line between fine art, sociology and experiential design. Raised in Houston TX, he built his artistic practice in Chicago, IL. 

White has been inspired by the ways in which one can capture truth visually to engage and connect with people. He loves the challenge of taking the viewer beyond just seeing the art – he believes they should feel it. His confidence and commitment to his craft is inspiring as he embraces his function in society to document the history of connected cultural experiences through art.

White discovered the intersection of artistic experiences, consumer insights and sports while attending Northwestern University as a student athlete. Nuanced Black human behavior and personal experiences are prevalent subjects throughout his work. He utilizes insights to inspire, innovate and explore relevant material with culture through creativity. Further, he is focused on creating collections and public works such as murals that reach the greater community and more importantly, the next generation. White is the creator of Something I Can Feel (SICF) an immersive art driven experience designed to inspire, uplift and empower communities through visual art, music and thoughtful programming. The annual public exhibition honors and supports Chicago’s elite creative community prioritizing social connectivity, mental health and wellness.
