About
Bèl Kay " Beautiful House"
Galerie Bel Kay or “Beautiful House” seems like a natural extension of Mose Associates Architects. Our firm was formed 28 years ago as a boutique residential office specializing in creative and fulfilling design aesthetics. A significant art collection informed the design for our first commission by Alice Lawrence, where the interior design of her residence was built around her artwork.
Christine Carrie Mose, partner in Mose Associates Architects is the director of Galerie Bel Kay. She has a life-long connection to the art world and culture of Haiti and is considered an expert on Haitian art, frequently consulting with major auction houses regarding style, authenticity, media and historic perspective including intimate insights into the genesis of many of the works in the gallery.
The gallery is also a proud community sponsor and endeavors to showcase local present and past artists. Please take time to experience the evolving catalog of our collection.
