In the MOJA Arts Festival Invitational Art Exhibit - I-8-TEE, an art and poetry exhibit, the visual artists and poets use their
creativity, to raise funds to support Haiti. Specifically, the funds raised will support the League of Hope’s new art therapy program for the children in Port Au Prince, Haiti.
Sponsored by MOJA Arts Festival, the exhibit challenges each artist and poet to create works expressing how they feel about Haiti; its land, people and culture. When a piece is purchased the artist will donate a minimum of 15% of
the proceeds to the League of Hope. Participating in the exhibition is absolutearts.com Premiere Portfolio Member Hampton Olfus.
