The Haitian Art Exhibit is a weeklong event featuring artwork depicting the Haitian culture and history, where more than 40 art pieces will be exhibited at Doric Hall at the Massachusetts State House beginning July 24.

The opening ceremony will be held at the Nurses Hall and will include community recognition awards and citations.

The Haitian American Art Society is a private, non-profit community outreach project that promotes community development through art and science.

The exhibit is designed to celebrate and promote the rich Haitian culture and history using art and science as catalyst to unify our community through creativity, imagination and participation.

Founded in 2002, the annual Haitian art exhibit was started by a group of artists and local residents who sought an alternative to traditional community festivity. Since then the celebration has grown from a small arts event to a major art exhibit with related year-round community activities.

The Haitian Art Exhibit serves as a showcase for the Massachusetts Haitians’ cultural and artistic communities featuring both local and internationally recognized artists.

The Haitian Art Exhibit attracts more than 10,000 visitors. This unique idea, which started in Boston a few years ago, has served as a model for other US cities where there are large Haitian populations. The Haitian Art Exhibit has truly become a cherished Haitian tradition in Boston.

The Haitian Art Exhibit will take place at the Doric Hall at the State House from July 24 to July 28.

This is a very special event that brings business leaders, families and friends together to celebrate Haitian culture and tradition.

The exhibit will be kicked off by a ceremony on July 24th at the Nurses Hall at the State House to recognize outstanding members of the Haitian community.
