STATEMENT OF FOUNDER
2013-2014* has been an extremely important period for the Institute.
During this period we have cemented historic new institutional pillars and
partnerships that have enabled us to greatly expand our facilities and
programs. Our merger with Artists for Peace and Justice through the joint
creation of the Audio Institute, in partnership with the We are the World
Foundation, has given birth to an entire new division and to our new
larger institutional umbrella of the Artists Institute. Through this expanded
entity and mission we now offer college training, employment and
professional support in film, music, and audio engineering. Over the next
12 months our student body will double.
This expansion and growth, fueled by the firm belief in the talent and
artistic capabilities of Haitian youth, is precisely the type of concrete
investment in local institution building that Haiti so desperately needs.
The nation severely lacks long term brick and mortar investment, and as
a result Haiti’s youth lacks concrete modern skills that they can use to get
jobs. As you will see in the coming pages, our work and investment is
paying off. Well trained film, music and audio producers and technicians
are in demand, and their lives and careers are being dramatically
transformed as a result of their time with us. Creative industries are
certainly vibrant and matter financially everywhere in the world and each
year through our work we are helping to move the local economic needle
higher for countless students and graduates.
On behalf of the entire APJ and Artists Institute team, we thank you for
your support and solidarity.

*Note to reader: To streamline reporting we decided it best
to move into a scholastic calendar year - so this report covers
January 2013-July 2014. Future reports will be issued
annually based on the scholastic calendar.
MISSION
Artists Institute is a free college for art and technology. We offer high
quality training, professional development, and employment services.
The Institute is made up of two divisions: Ciné Institute, Haiti’s only film
school, and Audio Institute: We are the World School of Music and
Audio Engineering.
VISION
We believe Haiti’s future lies in the hands of its youth. Our vision is
to create modern opportunities for Haiti’s underprivileged youth by
fostering entrepreneurship and business development in local
creative industries.

NEED: NOT EVEN

created a free modern post-secondary program,
making college accessible to Haiti’s industrious
youth, and offering employment opportunities and
professional support to alumni.

VISITING ARTISTS
Over the course of the two-year curriculum, students
work under the mentorship of industry professionals
and visiting faculty, learning the necessary technical
and business skills to prepare them for local sustainable
careers at international standards.
The Audio Institute Presents Series gives students real
world experience in which to apply the skills they
learn in class. Students work together to promote, do
pre-production, set up and live sound work, with the
assistance and oversight of faculty and staff.
Audio Institute also focuses on recording and
cataloging the country’s musical traditions – playing
a crucial role in the preservation of the musical culture
that is an integral part of Haitian identity.
APJ Advisory Board Member and Rock n’ Roll Hall of
Fame artist, Jackson Browne, gave a Master Class
on the creative process.
Socially conscious Haitian Pop-Star and Audio Institute
Advisory board member BélO gave a Master Class
on the role of an artist in society and the importance of
being conscious of the message you pass on through
your art.
Grammy Award Winning band Arcade Fire
took part in Jacmel Canaval activities and helped
to produce Jakmel Jou Bare’n. The band talked to
students about how they were inspired by Haitian
music and culture and how that came out on their
recent album “Reflektor”.
Claude Pierre, of Haiti’s famous big band Ensemble
Nemours Jean-Baptiste, gave a Master Class about
band dynamics and the importance of copyright.
Haitian music legend Sanba Zao, and founder
of the Racine music genre that blends Vodou music
and popular music, discussed with our students the
importance of culture and keeping it present even
as music evolves, as well as his personal process of
rediscovering Haitian music. He also gave a drumming
Master Class.
Fritz Gerald Francois, Haitian music studio owner
and audio engineer, gave a Master Class on sound
and stage settings, which students would apply directly
for the first Audio Institute concert.
Music promoter Harry Luc, who is BélO’s manager
and the founder of the HandZup group who copromoted Jakmel JouBaren, talked about the current
music industry in Haiti.
Boulo Valcourt, one of Haiti’s original troubadours
and an international musician, gave a Master Class on
the importance of melody, musician skills for engineers,
and communicating with artists to achieve goals.
Music legends Boukman Eksperyans discussed
music and performed an unplugged concert for the
students.
In just its first two months, Audio Institute welcomed
Haitian and international music industry professionals
including:
Haitian troubadours, Ti-Coca and Wanga-Nègès,
Jean Marc Jepiel, Boulo Valcourt and Audio
Institute students, DJ Greg and DJ Winner, performed
for our first Audio Institute Presents concert series.
Sound Engineer and acoustician Eddy Renaud gave
a Master Class in sound and discussed the evolution
of the music industry in Haiti. He also helped build the
Audio Institute music studio and owns the largest sound
company in Haiti.
Socially conscious hip-hop artist and rapper from
Chicago, Psalm, visited the school and collaborated
with students on a beat making and lyric writing
