NY EXHIBIT OF CARIBBEAN ART
The New York Times calls Caribbean: Crossroads of the World ". . . the big art event of the summer season in New York . . . ." Three small museums, the Studio Museum in Harlem, El Museo del Barrio, and the Queens Museum of Art have combined their limited resources to produce a block-buster of an art exhibit that explores the complexities of cultures and historical conflicts that make up the Caribbean. Caribbean art has never had the caché that Latin American art has attracted in the last decade or so, but this exhibit will hopefully begin to correct that.
Each of the three venues offers a complete show, but anyone who has the time should see all three. The segment at the Studio Museum in Harlem ends first on October 21 while the segments at the other two venues end on January 6, 2013. This link will take you to The Times article.

ATHLETICS OF HAITI TO GET STADIUM
 | | Boby Duval, founder of Athletics of Haiti |
We have long been supporters of Boby Duval, founder of Athletics of Haiti, and are exceedingly pleased to report that he has succeeded in getting $5 million through New York developer Delos LLC and architect Carlos Zapata to build a stadium in Cité Soleil, a notorious gang-infested shantytown in Port-au-Prince. The project is projected to begin this fall and to be completed by the end of 2013. The stadium will seat 12,000 spectators and will initially employ 500 people. It will be called "Phoenix Stadium" and will serve as a cultural center for the community as well as an athletic arena. The project will be a fitting culmination of 18 years of brave and grinding hard work on the part of Boby Duval.
