Haitian Beatz

RISING AGAIN:  For too many of us, the devastation in Haiti has been pushed to the back burner, either by our daily lives or the latest sensational tragedy to invade the airwaves.  But, in the wake of the devastating earthquake there is still plenty of attention that needs to be paid on the island nation.  In that vein, the Yale Institute of Sacred Music is presenting a new exhibition called "Haiti Rising."  The exhibition includes selections for the Stanley Popiel and Ingrid Feddersen Collection of Eastern Connecticut State University, a collection of 50 Haitian paintings and sculptures.  The works range from the primitive to the abstract; expressionist to the surreal.  And tonight, you can check out the exhibit during a special reception featuring Haitian music.  The reception is from 4:30 p.m.-6 p.m.  The exhibit runs through September 17.  Proceeds will benefit Haiti earthquake relief efforts.
