Expressions Art Gallery

Expressions Galerie D'Art is located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It is one of Haiti's largest galleries, with an extensive collection of haitian art works.[1] It was founded 29 years ago with a collection of contemporary Haitian art. The gallery later relocated to larger new premises down the hill of Montagne Noire in Pétion-Ville.

History

In July 1991, a young local couple, Habib and Khatia Jiha, decided to combine their love of art with the facts of business by opening "Expressions Art Gallery" in Pétion-Ville, Haiti. Two months later, the country suffered a terrible coup d'etat, and the international community imposed a two years embargo on Haiti. Despite all the turmoil and problems caused by the political situation, the gallery survived.

Expressions Art Gallery aims to promote and support Haitian art and artists in Haiti and abroad, by participating actively in many art exhibits in the world.

Born and raised in Haiti, they adopted this country as their own, as they learn to love and appreciate its rich culture. The couple confesses that the most enjoyable aspects of their gallery experience is helping international visitors as well as Haitians, discover Haitian art while many of them are amazed and still wondering how Haiti shelters such a hidden treasure.

Collection highlights

During the year, number of individual and group exhibitions are held in the gallery and are open to the public. The gallery is also an active sponsor of the arts and upcoming artists.

gollark: Thank you for your input.
gollark: See, there are lots of ways I could do it: - the way dokuwiki handles search, where there's a box in the navbar and when you hit enter it navigates to a new page with the results (somewhat slower to interact with, but simple and allows a lot of information with each result)- clientside JS implementing a search overlay/modal so that the results update immediately as you type, except this is kind of not that useful as SQLite full text search is not very fuzzy- a combination of these approaches, where you have a live JS-based fuzzy search thing for page *titles* and the dokuwiki-style thing for most searches
