Someone once said, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans"  Our plan was to have the 2010 conference in Haiti, but that seems like a bad idea now, based on reports from ground zero. Below are some details but we will have to save them until next year.

Instead, 

The 2010 Haitian Art Society Annual Conference

will be in
