Local Haitian Artists, dignitaries and art collectors in Massachusetts support the revitalization of Haitian painting in the town of Jacmel, Haiti
Members of the Haitian Artists Assembly of Massachusetts (HAAM) traveled to Haiti in April 2010 and met with several artists in Jacmel, the third city most affected by the January 2010 earthquake. Jacmel, traditionally a vibrant touristic and cultural Haiti haut-lieu,
lost a great deal. Following an enthusiastic response from massmouth storytelling group, Menino Center for the Arts, Six and Counting, the French Cultural Center/French Library, the Haitian American Earthquake Task Force, Mad Oyster Studios, Brick Bottom Studios, Greater Brockton Society for the Arts, HAAM collected hundreds of art supplies and
materials between April and July 2010. Réseau des Artistes de Jacmel and the Haitian Artists Assembly of Massachusetts (HAAM) will launch a large scale art exhibit
sale, “When Our Brushes Shook”, to commemorate the memory of the 230,000
people who lost their lives in the earthquake.
With the proceeds of the sales, HAAM will assist Jacmel artists financially and contribute to the creation of an art center where they will be able to display their work and train younger artists. Paintings will be on display for 3-4 weeks between January and March at the following venues:
· Boston City Hall January 10
· Brockton Library January 20
· Brockton City Hall January 24
· Cambridge Health Alliance January 24
HAAM is a volunteer group and has been in existence since 1995.
