Haiti: Art Tour and Voodoo Dinner 2013
As you may well know, Project HOPE Art is sponsoring 3 Haitian Artists to visit San Francisco (it’s the first time to leave Haiti for one artist and definitely a new experience to be in California for all three artists). They will work with Recology on a multi-medium sculpture made from found trash and recyclable items.
Burners without Borders is also helping us pull this giant project together. We’ll be hosting a VooDoo Dinner on September 14th in San Francisco to commemorate this work.
We need a TON of donations to make three dreams come true and help everyone travel to the US.
If you have American Airline miles to give, we have three artists with Aadvantage numbers. AND! Now through June 30th AA is offering a double down bonus mileage special.

Host a Haitian Artist – Summer 2013
“Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art…” – Maya Angelou
Our three friends: Racine, Claudel and Romel are coming for a visit to San Francisco this August and September. They have worked with Project HOPE Art for the last two years. Read all about their interests, art and life in Haiti, here.
It is our hope to slowly pass along our Art Center in Haiti over to these three artists, so they may continue our mission of art + science training for children in disadvantaged communities.
Through this visit to United States, our visiting artists will learn the systems and infrastructure necessary to run an art center full time. They will be exposed to all manner of creativity and multi-media artists in the Bay Area through connections with our partner: Burners Without Borders.
Project HOPE Art is sponsoring three Haitian artists for a 5-week art internship at Recology. This internship will put our artists directly in contact with an American trash and recycling transfer station to forage and create a sculpture based on transformation. This is the style of art they make using discarded items from the streets of Port au Prince.

Hosting means sharing your culture and hospitality with an artist. There are a wide variety of hosting opportunities from inviting an international visitor to your home for a family meal, to providing a place to stay during our month-long art internship program.

Coeurs Magiques
We LOVE the girls of OJFA so much, we wanted each girl to have a piece of our heart. Lead Artist Jenni Ward created these magic wands so the girls could invoke magic and hold tight to the idea that even from afar, we love them so much.
You can support Art in Haiti AND have your very own coeurs magiques by clicking here.

Art Trading Card Drive for Haiti
Art trading cards are little works of art that measure 2.5” x 3.5” in size. In July 2013, Project HOPE Art will once again be traveling to Haiti, and would love to deliver as many of these cards as possible to children who have so much less than the rest of the world.
If you would like to take part in this drive, and send a message of good will, please follow the project requests below.
- Use any type paper that you like, but it must measure 2.5” x 3.5”.
- Create art on the front of the card that describes what your life islike. For example, I live in an apartment in CA, so I drew buildingswith a palm tree out front. Add your city and state (or country) below.
- Add a message on the back and sign it with a first name only.
- Placing each card in a plastic penny sleeve would be great, but not necessary.
- Mail the cards to: Kathy Barbro, 12840 Moorpark Street #307, Studio City, CA by July 1st, 2013.
Please note that traveling to Haiti with extra luggage can get quite expensive, so donations would be very much appreciated. Visit www.fracturedatlas.org and search for HOPE Art to make a tax deductible donation. For further information, email kathy@projecthopeart.org. Thank you everyone for your support!
