H.E.A.R.T. Haiti Emergency Art Recovery Team

 Returns to the States

Charcoal drawings of faces and boats, watercolors of landscapes and the beach, book making, story-telling and photography of everyday life in the neighborhoods are a few of the examples the children created with the H.E.A.R.T team during the one week stay in Delmas Haiti. The team worked with over 125 children ages 2-19. In the morning, the team worked with the “Let the Children” Mission in Delmas and in the afternoon with a children’s center. The children and adults responded very positively to the art classes and embraced the opportunity to learn about new mediums and methods. At the end of the week, children from the mission participated in an exhibition of their work with an opening reception while the children center performed in an art parade proudly marching through the neighborhood with their creations.

The Noyes Museum will be putting together an exhibition of the children’s work at the Atlantic City Airport’s ArtPort this coming January. A full exhibition featuring paintings and sculpture celebrating Haitian Culture and a photography exhibition of Haitian life will open this January at the Noyes Museum at both the Oceanville and Hammonton locations.

Project H.E.A.R.T (Haiti Emergency Art Relief Team) is a multi-focused mission between the Noyes Museum of Art of Richard Stockton College, Vivant Art Gallery, Stockton College, Atlantic City Airport and South Jersey Transportation Authority’s ArtPort. On August 9th, a four member team traveled to Haiti, they included: Michael Cagno, Executive Director of the Noyes, who resides in Vineland, NJ; Dorrie Papademetriou, Director of Exhibitions and Collections of the Noyes, who resides in Linwood, NJ; Celeste Safeer, a Stockton College student, who resides in Hammonton, NJ; and Florcy Morrisset, owner of Vivant Art Gallery in Philadelphia, who resides in Philadelphia.
