About
Le Centre d'Art, also known as Le Centre d'Art d'Haïti, is an art center, art school and art gallery located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It was founded in 1944 by American watercolorist DeWitt Peters and several prominent Haitians from the intellectual and cultural circles such as Maurice Borno, Albert Mangonès, Geo Remponeau, Jean Chenet and Gerald Bloncourt. In 2010, the center's building was destroyed by the Haitian earthquake, and by 2014 they were able to reopen in temporary premises, in which they continue to operate to this day.
