The exhibition, “Haitian Art in Transit” is described as “a celebration honoring the paintings of Haitian artists from Massachusetts and Jacmel, Haiti.”

A reception to launch the display will be held on Thursday, Jan. 10 at 5:45 p.m. The exhibition will be held in art space in the airport’s terminal A.

 About 60 magnificent pieces — many of which evoke the memory of those who perish during the 2010 earthquake — will be part of the exhibition.

Four artists will be receiving awards from dignitaries and art sponsors: Valentin Ivikel, 76, the veteran artists of the Assembly; Youveline Joseph, 17, the youngest member of the group; Herold Alvares, from Limbé, who lost his arms, but continue to paint, using his lips and his toes to hold his brush; and Fritz Ducheine, an artist himself, but also a long term mentor to, and promoter of other artists.
