Reframing Haitian Art: The Symposium

The Tampa Museum of Art is organizing a major symposium focused on the artwork and artists featured in its Arthur Albrecht Collection. A recent gift to TMA, the Albrecht Collection includes over 80 paintings and sculptures by the early students and protégées to emerge from the Centre d’Art in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Divided into four sessions—two morning and two afternoon sessions—the symposium will delve into a range of topics from the history of the Centre d’Art and its inaugural class of artists, to the conservation of Haitian art, and discussions on curating modern Haitian Art.

Reframing Haitian Art: The Symposium accompanies the exhibition Reframing Haitian Art: Masterworks from the Arthur Albrecht Collection, guest curated by Edouard Duval Carrié.
