It is one of Haiti's oldest galleries with a collection of over 10,000 works of art.〔http://www.expressionsgaleriedart.com/home1.html〕 It was founded years ago with a collection of contemporary Haitian art. The gallery later relocated to larger new premises down the hill of Montagne Noire in Pétionville. ==History== In July 1991, a young local couple, Habib and Khatia Jiha, decided to combine their love of art with the facts of business by opening "Expressions Art Gallery" in Pétionville Haiti. Two months later, the country suffered a terrible coup d'etat, and the international community imposed a two years embargo on Haiti. Despite all the turmoil and problems caused by the political situation, the gallery survived. Expressions Art Gallery essentially aims at promoting and supporting Haitian Art and artists in Haiti and abroad, by participating actively in many art exhibits in the world. Born and raised in Haiti, they adopted this country as their own, as they learn to love and appreciate its rich culture. The couple confess that the most enjoyable aspects of their gallery experience is helping international visitors as well as Haitians, discover Haitian art while many of them are amazed and still wondering how Haiti shelters such a hidden treasure. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Expressions Art Gallery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
