Haiti Relief Charity Art Events

As a bonus blog post, I have decided to focus on listing upcoming art events that provide relief for Haiti through partnerships with charities. Support them and enjoy it!


Canterbury, Kent, UK

6th of February until 25th of March 2010

I know I recently posted on events in Canterbury, so those of you in other parts of the UK might be wondering why this little medieval town is getting so much coverage. Well, in a week I will be moving away from Canterbury. In an effort to give credit to the town that has supported my art education for over a year I am focusing on some the upcoming events. Also, I think the way the museums, music clubs, and cafe's have come together for the Music for Change event is an example of how together, different types of arts create a change.

This art sale is a collaboration between the Multnomah Arts Center community and the Mercy Corps programs, the full proceeds will go to Mercy Corps relief efforts in Haiti. "Instructors, students, and friends of the Multnomah Arts Center have rallied to support Haitians in the aftermath of the devastating January earthquake. Dozens of artists, many of them potters in the MAC ceramics program, are donating artwork to benefit relief efforts in Haiti through a sale on February 5th and 6th at the southwest Portland art center."
