Centre d'Art
Le Centre d’Art is an art center, school and gallery located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It was founded in 1944 by American watercolorist DeWitt Peters and several prominent Haitians from intellectual and cultural circles.[1][2]
Le Centre d’Art was destroyed in the 2010 earthquake and many artworks from its collection was damaged. The Smithsonian Institution as well as several other local and international organisations has since collaborated with recovery and conservation efforts.[3][4][5]
