New exhibit brings a Haitian breeze to Friendship Gallery
Time for a trip to Haiti! The “Haitian Vision” is the Village Center exhibition in September. Friendship Gallery takes visitors on an art excursion to the Caribbean Island of Haiti. Come and explore the amazing artwork being produced in a part of the world that has known so much hardship.
Despite poor governance, earthquakes, environmental devastation, and political violence, Haitians have risen above the strife of their homeland and produced amazing artwork. They have created unique paintings on canvas, palm leaves and wood, intricate cut outs from metal drums and papiermache masks for festivals add amazing color to their lifestyle. Be transported to another world rich in color and with strong design. View the unique collection of Mimi Wolford and savor another culture with a unique style.
