Art from Haiti

The paintings and metal work are from the personal collection of Dr. Tracee and Robert Karaffa of Granville Ohio,  founders of Healing Art Mission, a charity that supports a medical clinic, a primary school, and a clean water project in Haiti.

In addition they are building a library and need books, particularly French language ones.  The Karaffas and other volunteers travel to Haiti four times a year to spend a week working with Haitian doctors at the clinic and delivering pharmaceutical drugs carried in large plastic containers. On their return trip, the Karaffas bring back Haitian artwork created by contemporary artists and street vendors.

The oil paintings, metalwork and ceramics on display are typical of the art auctioned each May in Granville by the Healing Art Mission. 

More than 50 of the electronic research resources that are available to all students, faculty and staff at OhioLINK member institutions are also available to all Ohioans.

This core collection of electronic research resources, called the Ohio Web Library, is provided to all Ohio residents by Libraries Connect Ohio, a collaborative effort of Ohio's library organizations.

Although Ohio Web Library is already incorporated into the library's list of available resources for your use, keep in mind that these resources will also be available to you after you graduate via any Ohio school or public library. In addition, all Ohio residents, including your parents, friends and children, can also use the Ohio Web Library collection of magazines, newspapers, journal articles, research databases and much more.
