Haitian Art Exhibit

For the entire month of October the Friends of the Vineyard Haven Library will host an exhibit by artist Wilfrid Dantis as part of their Art in the Stacks program.

Mr. Dantis is a self-taught artist from Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Orphaned as a young boy, he began his painting career as a street artist, eventually carving out a style all his own. Much of his work focuses on everyday Haitian life, depicting through vivid colors and imagery the hard work and challenges faced each day by the citizens of Haiti. His paintings are also currently on display at the Lady from Haiti Gallery in Naples, Florida.
