The Vassar Haiti Project is hosting a Haitian art and handcraft sale at the YWCA Greenwich during the month of January, with a wine & cheese reception on Friday, Jan. 18 from 6:15 to 9 p.m. There will be affordable, unique handcrafts and over 200 original paintings from Haitian artisans on sale accompanied by authentic kompa music. This sale will celebrate Haitian art and culture while raising funds for the relief efforts of the 2018 October earthquake and ongoing sustainable development projects in Haiti.
For the past 18 years years, the Vassar Haiti Project has partnered with a rural, mountainous village in Haiti called Chermaitre through 5 initiatives- education, medicine, a women’s co-operative, reforestation, and water purification and access.
The art sale (including the 1/18 reception) is free and open to the public. All sales are 50% tax deductible. For more information about the event, please visit thehaitiproject.org, call 845-797-2123 or email limeade@vassar.edu.
The YWCA Greenwich is located at 259 East Putnam Ave.
