Migrating Colors with Haitian Artists Assembly of Massachusetts

This March, the gallery takes us to Haiti in celebration of Le Mois de la Francophonie.

We proudly welcome several artists from the Haitian Artists Assembly of Massachusetts for an impactful and beautiful exhibit.

Artwork of various influences and mediums depict the daily lives, haitian landscapes, spirituality, vaudou, and memories of its artists and the resiliency, creativity, and sustainability of the Haitian people.

This exhibition follows the release of the art book Migrating Colors: Haitian Art in New England, which features the artwork of more than 30 artists of the Association.

State Senator Linda Dorcena Forry, Commonwealth of Massachusetts has stated, “Haitian Art is vibrant and colorful; and it transports you to a magical land of living colors. Art to Haiti is as simple as taking a ride on a colorful ‘TapTap’ or going to the Iron Market right in the heart of Port-au-Prince.”

In the words of Haitian-American author Edwidge Danticat, “Haitians paint their dreams. They paint the country they have now and the country they’d like to see. They paint, too, in migration, recreating a floating island that is a mix of old and new, an island of leaves under the morning dew, blood red sunsets, and exploding midnight starts.”
