The
Haitian Art Exhibit is a weeklong event featuring artwork
depicting the Haitian culture and history, where more than 40
art pieces will be exhibited at Doric Hall at the
Massachusetts State House beginning July 24.
The
opening ceremony will be held at the Nurses Hall and will
include community recognition awards and citations.
The Haitian American Art Society is
a private, non-profit community outreach project that promotes
community development through art and science. The
exhibit is designed to celebrate and promote the rich Haitian
culture and history using art and science as catalyst to unify
our community through creativity, imagination and
participation.
Founded
in 2002, the annual Haitian art exhibit was started by a group
of artists and local residents who sought an alternative to
traditional community festivity. Since then the celebration
has grown from a small arts event to a major art exhibit with
related year-round community activities.
The
Haitian Art Exhibit serves as a showcase for the Massachusetts
Haitians’ cultural and artistic communities featuring both
local and internationally recognized artists.
The
Haitian Art Exhibit attracts more than 10,000 visitors.
This unique idea, which started in Boston a few years ago, has
served as a model for other US cities where there are large
Haitian populations. The Haitian Art Exhibit has truly become
a cherished Haitian tradition in Boston.
The
Haitian Art Exhibit will take place at the Doric Hall at the
State House from July 24 to July 28.
This is a very special event that brings business leaders,
families and friends together to celebrate Haitian culture and
tradition. The exhibit will be kicked off by a ceremony on
July 24th at the Nurses Hall at the State House to
recognize outstanding members of the Haitian community.
