College students and educators are invited to join us for a special gallery tour and discussion focused on the exhibition Hayward Oubre: Structural Integrity.

Oubre shaped art in the United States not only as an innovative artist, but also as a distinguished educator at two prominent HBCUs. He served as the first chair of the art department at Alabama State University (ASU) in Montgomery, from 1949 to 1965. After leaving ASU, Oubre established the art department at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) in North Carolina, building on the legacy he shaped at ASU. 

At “Purpose and Pedagogy: The Enduring Legacy of Hayward Oubre,” guests will learn about the artist Hayward Oubre’s impact as both a working artist and arts educator. Through a guided tour of the exhibition and a post-tour discussion with NOMA’s Chief Curator and the curator of the exhibition at NOMA, Anne Collins Smith, moderated by two students of Dillard University, guests will explore how Oubre’s legacy as a working artist and arts educator have impacted their experience in art classrooms.

This discussion is intended for currently-enrolled college and university students, as well as college and university educators, only. Attendance for this program is free.
