Bridging Worlds: Art from Behind Bars
This exhibit features the compelling works of artists from across the country who are currently incarcerated, showcasing the creative talents of individuals who often go unnoticed by society. This exhibition is designed to be part of the social enterprise initiative known as Designed Conviction, which seeks to bridge the gap between prison and mainstream society. By highlighting these artists, we aim to illuminate their messages, stories, and experiences through their art, fostering a greater understanding of the challenges faced by those impacted by incarceration.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of this exhibition is to provide a platform that showcases positive works from incarcerated artists, breaking down societal barriers and encouraging dialogue about creativity, redemption, and the rehabilitation of individuals in the justice system. Additionally, the exhibit will focus on raising funds to support children of incarcerated parents, who often experience emotional and financial hardships as a result of their parent's absence.
