""Atelier Artist was created to be more than a venue - it is a living ecosystem where artists can create, gather, and be supported by the community," co-founder Jonathan Pierre Lafleur said in a press release."
""My work is about creating spaces where people can return to themselves, to spirit and to the wisdom carried through culture," Précil said in the release."
A new artist residency in Brooklyn emphasizes Haitian culture, spirituality, and community during Haitian Heritage Month. Atelier Artist launched its first residency featuring Haitian American artist Riva Nyri Précil, offering free public events and performances throughout May. The residency aims to support immigrant artists and foster community engagement. Précil's work, inspired by Kouzen Zaka, explores themes of land, healing, and cultural memory through music, ritual, and storytelling. Events include artist talks, concerts, and gatherings focused on Haitian traditions and healing practices.
