‘Unite Brighton’ Exhibition for Haiti Orphans

Felix MCing exhibition to benefit Future of Haiti Orphanage

Come to Brighton’s seafront Umi Hotel at 3pm on the 26th of June for the grand finale of the exhibition of work inspired by and produced during the relief efforts in Haiti. If you are not in the UK, view the tearsheet instead.

Felix will be MCing this event and amongst others will share some of my experiences working with the children orphaned by the earthquake in Haiti. Felix photographed all the individual orphans and provided all imagery to help The Future of Haiti orphanage gain sponsors – the orphanage is a project close to his heart. See Felix’s slideshow from his work with the orphanage by clicking here.

Several of Felix’s pieces from Haiti are on display among work by other UK artists. There’ll be live music, wine, snacks and great conversation to look forward to. Felix will be in the UK for just over 48 hours to host this event before going onto his next project.
