Le Centre d’Art, before 2010 earthquake

Le Centre d'Art, also known as Centre d'Art d'Haïti, is an art center, art school and art gallery located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It was founded in 1944 by American watercolorist DeWitt Peters and several prominent Haitians from the intellectual and cultural circles such as Maurice Borno, Albert Mangonès, Geo Remponeau, Jean Chenet and Gerald Bloncourt.[1][2] In 2010, the center's building was destroyed; by 2012 they continued offering classes; and the center's new building was scheduled to reopen by 2021.
