The exhibition In Search of Julien Hudson, which opened at The Historic New Orleans Collection in January 2011, is currently on view at the Worcester Art Museum, in Massachusetts, where it will remain through March 12, 2012. The exhibition previously traveled to the Gibbes Museum of Art, in Charleston, from July through October 2011. The first retrospective of Louisiana’s earliest documented artist of color, the show has attracted national press coverage, with features in the New York Times, Boston Globe, The Magazine Antiques, Antiques and the Arts Weekly, and other major publications.
Items from THNOC’s permanent collection are regularly made available for exhibition at other accredited institutions, the better to educate audiences near and far about our region’s heritage.
