Max Tzinman Show at Atlantic Gallery Opening Reception Nov 1st- POSTPONED to Nov 8

UPDATE:

This show is postponed until November 8th because of damage from Hurricane Sandy. Thankfully the Atlantic Gallery is only with out power and the art inside is not damaged. Other galleries in the neighborhood were not so lucky.

Join  Max Tzinman  for the opening of his show “Adrift”  on Thursday at Atlantic Gallery  in New York City. Max has donated the title piece of his show “Adrift” to a silent auction, with the benefits going to Jakmel Ekspresyon.

Join him and many others on November 1st from 4-8pm at 548 W 28th Street, Suite 540, New York, NY (weather permitting). Please check the website for   Atlantic Gallery for updated information.

Max Tzinman Show at Atlantic Gallery 10/30-11/24 NYC

We are happy to announce that Max Tzinman  will be showing his paintings at Atlantic Gallery  in New York City. Max has donated the title piece of his show “Adrift” to a silent auction, with the benefits going to Jakmel Ekspresyon.

Join him and many others on November 1st from 4-8pm at 548 W 28th Street, Suite 540, New York, NY.

Max explains his work in this way:

 I am not a photographer or a conventional painter but an image storyteller. I am not trying to freeze the moment with a beautiful image, but to transform it to reveal the complex and deep emotions that lie buried beneath the surface.

Come and bid on “Adrift (Sunday Afternoon)” and send some money our way!

Thank you everyone for coming out and enjoying all the talented artists last Saturday. It was an amazing night. We raised over $500 which is a months operational costs. If you missed the event and still want to support JE please visit our Donate page.

The last month was a big month for us. The center ran workshops six days a week. The workshops included dance, theater, painting, fire spinning and a film club. The majority of the workshops were run by local established Haitian artists! In the US we met with our new pro-bono lawyer. With one more step to solidify this new relationship we will be on our way to establishing ourselves as a legal non-profit.

So many people have contacted the Administration to find out more about JE and how the can help. Our network just keeps growing. This is an exciting time and filled with opportunities to grow. If anyone is interested in helping by donating time and talents, please contact the Co-Director, Sue Frame, at jakmelekspresyon@gmail.com.
