Art and Soul 2026

Supporting and providing healthcare in rural Haiti

The Haiti Project’s Art & Soul Gala raises funds for the staffing, supplies, and operation of a medical clinic in Fiervil, Haiti for a full year. The clinic serves thousands of families from 47 remote, mountain communities by providing medical care to which they would otherwise not have access.

The Art & Soul Gala has been supported by local physicians, businesses, and families in the Hudson Valley for 15 years!

Food will be catered by the Twisted Soul!

We invite you to learn more, and to join us to celebrate the progress being made and to take a stand for improving healthcare accessibility in rural Haiti.
