Visual Arts Events

In collaboration with the Davidow Center for Art and Design at Colby-Sawyer College

An American visual storyteller, Richard Haynes uses his art not only to make society aware of the invisible in this world but also to inspire unity. He is a painter, photographer, educator, mentor, and powerful advocate for social justice who currently serves as the Associate Director of Admissions for Diversity at the University of New Hampshire.

 Chronicle WMUR-TV Jennifer Crompton writes: "Artist Richard Haynes settled in New Hampshire following a journey he describes as "an African American looking for a better way." Richard Haynes: Culture Keeper, Culture Maker presents Richard’s most recent acrylic paintings done in his signature style of semi-abstract faceless figures rendered in flat, bold colors, portraying “blacks and whites harmoniously living, working and playing together, side by side, even touching, something that was forbidden in Haynes' childhood world."
