SOCIETY

The Haitian Art Society

The Society was formed in 2003 to strengthen and expand interest in and understanding of Haitian Art and Artists.

Our website provides information about the HAS and our events, and also about other Haitian art events. We provide links to other sites about Haitian art and culture. Please click on the page links on the left to navigate around the HAS website.

In addition to maintaining this web site, the Haitian Art Society organizes Conferences at which members are able to view public and private collections of Haitian art.

Adieu Francine

The Haitian Art Society DC is deeply saddened by the news of the death
of Francine Murat, Director of the Centre d'Art of Port-au-Prince.

Francine died on February 25, 2010, six weeks following the collapse of
the Centre d'Art building during the catastrophic earthquake of in Haiti on
January 12.

Francine has been associated with the Centre d'Art since its opening in
1944, first as Administrative Assistant to the Founder Dewitt Peters,
then as Director for over forty years until her death. Her extended
professional service has earned her public recognition as an authority
on Haitian Art.

Francine Murat has carried out with grace, competence, and perseverance-- and often, under trying circumstances--the remarkable tradition of this unique and longest living art institution of Haiti.

The Haitian Art Society DC salutes the departure of this icon of
Haitian Art.

May her beautiful soul rest in peace.

Fritz Racine
President, HAS DC

Haitian Quake Relief Fund

Undoubtedly, you have seen news reports of the devastating earthquake which recently struck Haiti's most densely populated area. The devastion is immense. Our beloved and talented Haitian artists, their friends, families, and neighbors are in great peril. They are in desperate need of food, water, shelter and medical care.

The Waterloo Center for the Arts, Friends of the Art Center, and the national chapter of the Haitian Art Society have partnered to establish a Haiti Quake Relief Fund.

We urge you to show your appreciation for the cultural gifts that Haiti has bestowed upon us by helping the Haitian people in their time of need. Please consider a generous contribution to this fund, or any other charitable organization providing emergency relief
