The Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance aims to be a one-stop information, recreation, and research center for Afro-Caribbean history and art enthusiasts. We aim to develop a strong sense of community awareness, individual pride, self-worth, commitment, and involvement in the Afro-Caribbean community of Miami.

For Miami Art Week, The Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance presents Haiti in the Heartland, an outdoor exhibition celebrating the work and cultural resonance of Haitian art. The selected work for this exhibit comes from an incredible art collection of over 2,000 works of Haitian art located in Iowa, at the Waterloo Center for the Arts, in the heartland of the United States, which will be shown for the first time in this format in the heart of Little Haiti, Miami.
The Waterloo Center for the Arts treasures this collection and the opportunity it provides to elevate Haiti’s culture, heritage, and creative spirit and is delighted to share it through this outdoor exhibit. The public is invited to view this beautiful selection of works from the collection curated by Chawne Paige, Executive Director of the Waterloo Center for the Arts, Dr. Petrouchka LL. Moïse, Assistant Professor, Grinnell College | Project Co-Lead of the Haitian Art Digital Crossroad (HADC), and Fayola Nicaisse | Chairwoman for the Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance, in partnership with the Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance, Little Haiti Cultural Center, Grinnell College, and the Haitian Art Digital Crossroads (HADC) project with support from Edouard Duval-Carrié, Carl Juste, and Marie Vickles.
