ML SELECTS Art Galleries & Museums Haitian Heritage Museum Words by Marla E. Schwartz Two inspiring individuals in Miami’s art world have teamed up to create the Haitian Heritage Museum. If you attend a Design District art gallery walk on the 2nd Saturday of any month, make sure you go to 3940 N. Miami Ave., and see the artist on exhibit for that moment in time. Eveline Pierre, Founder, President/CEO, is a graduate of Howard University and Serge Rodrigue, Co-Founder/Vice- President, is a graduate of Florida A&M University. HHM is a testament to Miami’s Haitian community and provides an artistic experience worthy of this populace. It’s a not-for-profit that provides a rich cultural mecca for Little Haiti where people can enjoy beautiful Haitian art, historical artifacts, music, films and literary works. “People think that Haitian art is all palm trees and market scenes,” Pierre said. “However, in reality it’s so much more. We want to represent not only the folkloric, but also the fine art of Haiti.” pick art ML Serge strongly believes that “through this perspective comes the vision of the need to forge our urban environments that enhance the quality of life and contributes to sustaining vitality and economic development in our communities.” For more information, email: info@haitianheritagemuseum.com, or call: (305) 371-5988.
