Free, open to the public

In the recent exhibition Loïs Mailou Jones: A Life in Vibrant Color, Jones focused a part of her life’s work in Haiti.  The recent disaster has again focused attention on the tiny island nation, this time as a worldwide relief effort. The Mint Museum is presenting photography by Garrett Taft, Lauren Kingsley and local artist de’Angelo Dia-Bethune. Dia teaches English at Trinity Episcopal School. He took a group of students to Florida where they loaded barges with relief supplies bound for Haiti. The Charlotte community again looks beyond itself to those in need.
