A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT HAITIAN ART
Henri Jean-Louis, 54, painting in his destroyed neighborhood of Musseau, in Port-au-Prince. The painting shows a refugee camp emerging from a luscious green Haitian countryside. He explains, “I can no longer paint simple, decorative paintings. The world has to know about the sufferings, the apocalyptic Haiti. Generations must remember."
Synergy Art Foundation invites you to a very special fundraiser for two specific artists' colonies, which were completely wiped out. **Read below about these colonies. Proceeds will go directly to the artists and the two arts organizations.
For sale at the event will be artworks by several Haitian masters, including Laurenceau, Claude Dambreville, Prefete Duffaut, Louisiane St Fleurant and others, as well as many assorted and affordable Haitian objets d’art and fantastic Haitian children’s art.
The event is free with a suggested donation of $10 which gives you two free raffle tickets.
Directions: (Enter parking lot just after the Dixieline Sign on right going south on Sports Arena Blvd) - plenty of parking available.
**Atis-Rezistans, which was located in the poorest neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, presented the world's first 'Ghetto Biennale' four weeks before the earthquake and won international notoriety for its success. All participating artists including children lost their homes and studios, and several master artists perished together with an untold number of artworks.
**The Angels of Haiti Project, located in La Vallee de Jacmel on the southeastern area of Haiti, established and maintained a school for the most impoverished children for this region. Founded by Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat, a Haitian-born ob-gyn who has been helping women from all walks of life in San Diego since 1982. It started as a small arts program summer art program in 2001, that is now included in the schools curriculum and evolved to a yearly celebration called 'Journée des Enfants Pour la Paix' (The Children’s Day for Peace) in which over 1,000 children are invited to participate in a day of art, including prizes, music, free breakfast, lunch and fresh water. Synergy Art Foundation is proudly featuring many of these magnificent, “naïve” children’s artworks very reasonably priced, the proceeds of which will be returned directly to this organization. Dr. Carolle will be our very special guest at the event and will talk about the importance of rebuilding the school.
