Featuring artwork by students attending Dillard University and Xavier University of Louisiana
Ogden Museum of Southern Art and The New Orleans Chapter of The Links, Incorporated are proud to present the 13th Annual HBCU Art Showcase.
Established 13 years ago, this partnership was created to celebrate the artistic achievements of students enrolled at Louisiana’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Since its inception, the HBCU Art Showcase has been presented annually in the Museum’s Education Gallery, a space dedicated to highlighting arts education and student artwork from across the American South.
Exploring the diversity of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives that artists and audiences bring to the museum experience is central to the mission of Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Through the HBCU Art Showcase, the Museum is honored to support and elevate the creative voices of emerging artists while fostering a broader understanding of Southern identity and culture.
The New Orleans Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, extends its gratitude to the students, professors and Ogden Museum staff whose dedication and vision make this exhibition possible. The HBCU Art Showcase continues to be an important celebration of student achievement and a valued part of the Museum’s exhibition program.
The Links, Incorporated has celebrated more than 70 years as a women’s volunteer service organization committed to enriching, sustaining and ensuring the cultural and economic survival of African Americans and other persons of African ancestry. A premier international service organization with nearly 14,000 members in 280 chapters located in 41 states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, its legacy of friends providing service that changes lives, established by the original circle of nine friends in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1946, is alive and well. The members of The Links, Incorporated are influential decision makers and opinion leaders. The Links, Incorporated has attracted many distinguished women who are individual achievers and who have made a difference in their communities and the world. They are business and civic leaders, role models, mentors, activists and volunteers who work towards a common vision by engaging like-minded organizations and individuals for partnership. With more than 2 million service hours recorded in the past three years, members regularly contribute more than 500,000 documented service hours in their respective communities annually.
Since it was chartered on November 20, 1957, the New Orleans Chapter of The Links, Incorporated has engaged in implementing program services through the five National Program Facets: Services to Youth; International Trends and Services; National Trends and Services; Health and Human Services; and the Arts. The chapter’s major initiatives include co-sponsoring the local competition for the Scripps National Spelling Bee and Law Day, in which students are trained in legal proceedings and participate in a mock trial. The main focus areas are: education and youth activities to assist youth in fulfilling their intellectual potential; addressing issues affecting the African-American community through health and wellness projects; fostering cultural appreciation through the arts; and collaborating with other Link chapters to provide services and assistance to global friends.
