This exhibition draws its title from an often-repeated phrase from artist and Xavier professor John T. Scott. Scott guided his students with the mantra “Each one teach one,” instilling a practice of giving and mentorship alongside developing artistic skills. John T. Scott was both a graduate of Xavier and a professor, beginning his teaching career there in 1965. After his death in 2007, former Xavier President Norman C. Francis recalled, “He had a very famous admonition that all of us remember. He didn’t want thanks. Just pass it on. Pass it on to others.” Each One Teach One is a celebration and illustration of those founding and cultivated principles of excellence and community that define Xavier University of Louisiana.

The Unending Stream is a two-part exhibition that showcases the thriving community of photographers in New Orleans. The title of the exhibition pays homage to a Clarence John Laughlin photograph of the same title, which is a part of the permanent collection at Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Laughlin’s seminal work, created between the 1930s and 1950s, is an important chapter in the long-storied relationship between New Orleans and photography. Following in his visionary footsteps, this exhibition focuses on emerging and underrepresented photographers who continue to focus on the South through poetic imagery. The Unending Stream celebrates New Orleans’ continuing role as one of America’s most important cultural capitals while also highlighting the role that the arts have played in revitalizing the region for the past twenty years since Hurricane Katrina.
