AyitiCherieConnexion posts a slideshow of Haitian paintings and writes (FR):
While surfing the web the other day I discovered a not-for-profit project from New York which uses Haitian art to fund a school in Haiti. I'm talking about the Vassar Haiti Project. It auctions paintings by all sorts of Haitian artists and the funds are used for the construction and functioning of a school in Chermaitre, a town 6 to 7 hours northwest of Port-au-Prince. The project accomplishes three goals: encourage haitian artists to produce art for sale, exhibit the beauty in the country, help those in need in the country.
