Haitian Art & Handcraft Sale in Greenwich

Hosted by the Haiti Project + Second Congregational Church

Second Congregational Church

139 East Putnam Avenue Greenwich, CT

Join the Haiti Project on Saturday through Sunday Feb. 28th - March 1st for our Haitian art sale showcasing hundreds of original Haitian art and handcrafts. The sale is free and open to the public.

Works encompass paintings, iron sculptures, paper mâché, wood and metal handcrafts and more - displaying the country’s diverse and talented artistic voices.

Sales directly support the livelihoods of hundreds of local artists, and proceeds also benefit numerous programs in Chermaitre—a mountain village in Haiti. Proceeds from this Art Sale go towards supporting art, education, health, and sustainable development in villages in rural Haiti.

You can support sustainable development initiatives in Haiti, while simultaneously connecting with the vibrant, joyous narrative expressed through the art.

Vassar Student Joy Zhang, Class of 2027, volunteered at the Art Pop Up sale at the Second Congregational Church last fall.

“I loved connecting with people who came to the art sale by speaking with them about metal crafts and metal art from Haiti. I study Art History at Vassar College and being able to apply my knowledge by speaking about composition, structure, and materiality with community members in Greenwich was a very rewarding and fulfilling experience. Through sharing what I’ve learned, I hope people will grow their appreciation of metal art and other Haitian artworks.”

Co-founder of the Haiti Project, Dr. Andrew Meade notes, “Each piece of artwork tells so many stories. They paint the hopes and dreams of a people. They spread joy and help to transform a narrative of who Haiti, and Haitians, really are. And through their purchase, they support an artist and their family. Enjoy surreal dreamscapes, abundant landscapes, intricate metalwork, and scenes of daily life. It is an opportunity to discover emerging talents alongside established 20th century masters. This breathtaking gathering of creativity affirms our conviction in art’s power to preserve heritage and seed progress.”
