WILLIAM ANDREWS UPTOWN

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Ogden Museum of Southern Art

WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT WHAT YOU DO I value the unique mission of Ogden Museum of Southern Art and how it inspires us to explore the rich and varied nature of Southern identity through our art, history, and culture. WHY NEW ORLEANS? We contain historical hints and societal vestiges of so many different cultures and geographies that it makes exploration, discovery, and enrichment unavoidable. WHAT YOU SEE AS OUR FUTURE I like to think about a future where we all recognize the unique value of our community and the impact we have on the world and are unified in our efforts to protect and advance it.
