Artwork to Save a Museum - Musée d'Art Haitien

The Toussaint Louverture Cultural Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation established to promote Haitian culture, stimulate artistic creativity, and help restore Haiti’s cultural heritage. One of its goals is to raise funds for the repair of the Musée d’Art Haitien du Collège St Pierre which was severely damaged by the 2010 earthquake and is still closed to the public. In 2013, the Foundation organized a Call for Art Donation to gather a Save A Museum Collection. In an historic show of solidarity Haitian artists and collectors donated more than 80 paintings. Many were sold at the Save A Museum Exhibit/Sale held at the Wilmer Jennings Gallery at Kenkeleba in New York City in September 2013. It helped fund the first phase of the museum’s repair, yet much more is needed to complete the work as the total cost is estimated at $200,000.00.

You can see and purchase many of the wonderful paintings from this collection right here at MedaliaArt. Also available on the site is the Hector Hyppolite book. Sales of the book have so far raised $5,500.00 that will be used to restore the paintings damaged by the earthquake.

Wings of Hope

wings of hopeIn 1985, Michael Geilenfeld, a former Brother with Mother Theresa’s Brothers of Charity, started a small home for five boys to bring them off the streets and offer them a Christian family life. Twenty years later there are now three homes serving more than 60 children. Graduates from the first home, St. Joseph’s Home for Boys, run a home for disabled children called Wings of Hope outside Port-au-Prince and a home for young boys called Trinity House in a small coastal town.
