Here is a picture of Noailles Village. This is a thriving city in Haitian art as it produces metal sculpture.

Noailles Village is the only place in Haiti where metal work occurs. The town is a colony of metal workers, who carve custom iron crosses.

The metal work small-scale industry started in 1956 when George Liataud starting making esthetically pleasing iron crosses to mark graves and tombs in Croix-des-Bouquet's cemeteries. Eventually he combined Voodoo and Christian symbols to appeal to the tourist market.

Today Noailles Village has a legacy of generations of metal work artists.

The 2010 earthquake may have caused the Haitian leg of the Galerie Bourbon-Lally to close, but its showroom in the US remained opened, allowing the show to go on. Just since this year, the Exodus exhibition took place, putting on show, in partnership with BrutEdge Gallery, the work of Cuban painter Carlos Estevez. The showcase, which took place from May 10 until June 19, 2014, showed the artist's work from 2010 up to then. It delved into Estevez's concern with the spirituality of man and featured the use of iconography to tell his stories.
