About Gallery Owner & Curator

Florcy Morisset is a cultural arts ambassador, working at the intersection of culture and society. Her muse is the world and her passion is the arts. As a lifestyle connoisseur, successful business woman, and community servant, she remains a relentless advocate to the arts scene. Florcy’s art-centric personality and professional philosophy emphasizes the importance of arts & culture as the vital heartbeat of a young city and the people of the diaspora. Her daily life has been to create Philadelphia as a hub for progressive young professionals and cultural art from across the world… thus creating a sanctuary for business networking and art amusing at Vivant Art Collection!

As an art collector, Florcy continues to collect vibrant exotic fine art, picturesque and indigenous folk art pieces that represent her love for cultural art that tells a story.  Florcy travels back and forth between Mexico, Europe, the Caribbean and the United States, spotlighting different underrepresented communities by purchasing their artwork—a cycle that helps to both energize economic development and expose Philadelphians to multi-cultural diversity. Three years and a mini-museum’s worth of artwork later, Florcy’s entrepreneurial dreams and desire to share her art treasures with the community have been a success. She has curated several museum shows, including the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, Delaware Museum and, lately, the Noyes Museum. Her art gallery is located on Gallery Row in Historic Old City and dons the name Vivant Art Collection.

Vivant Art Collection has transcended the status of a gallery and has since grown into a cultural arts destination and social center, which hosts cocktail receptions, art exhibitions and charitable/political fundraisers. Florcy views art as a vehicle for change and a medium for positive social progression that chronicles the human experience.  As a servant of the community, she sits on many boards, including Chairman of the Haitian Professionals of Philadelphia, and Steering Committee of the IDea Coalition. She is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, NexT Philadelphia - Network of Extraordinary of Talent (formerly Urban League Young Professionals) and National Coalition of 100 Black Women – Pennsylvania Chapter. Her commitment to community service, civic engagement, arts and culture and building small businesses have made her well-regarded and distinguished within the Philadelphia community and a mainstay in the arts and culture sector. 

Florcy has been featured in various media outlets, including the City Paper, the Philadelphia Tribune, art blogs, television and several radio shows. She has received a Scepter of Success - Powerful Perspective and Moxie Women 2011 Next Generation of Leadership & Rising Star  award by Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds-Brown for her efforts in Philadelphia’s business and philanthropic communities. Florcy Morisset is a Haitian-American, who was raised in New York City alongside her four siblings and mother. She graduated from Duquesne University with a degree in psychology and minor in biology. She now resides in Philadelphia.
