Featuring artwork by students attending Dillard University and Xavier University of Louisiana
Eleven years ago, Ogden Museum of Southern Art and The New Orleans (LA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated formed a partnership with the goal of presenting an exhibition that would spotlight works of art created by students attending Louisiana’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and provide an opportunity to celebrate those artists. Since then, the HBCU Art Showcase has been presented annually in the Museum’s Education Gallery, a space designated to honor the teaching of art and works created by students in the Southern region of the United States. To date, over 125 HBCU artists from Louisiana’s five HBCUs have participated in the annual showcase.
The art is on display through September 29, 2024. Here is a sampling:
