We invite you to the 26th annual Art Sale and Auction at Vassar College, featuring an online auction and in person sale. The event will showcase the beauty and joy of Haitian culture by featuring hundreds of works of art and handcrafts from this country of great artisans! The auction will feature nearly 40 paintings and handcrafts, preceding the actual art sale at Vassar College. Original art from scores of Haitian artists will be available for sale in the Multi-purpose room on the second floor of the College Center.
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. This sales’ proceeds will go to our education initiative for 200 primary school children, secondary school and adult education programs. Please come and support sustainable development initiatives in Haiti, while simultaneously connecting with the vibrant, joyous narrative expressed through the art.
