Out of Prison, Making Art

The 10th Annual Alumni Exhibition of the
Community Partners in Action Prison Arts Program

This exhibition (online this year!) is an ongoing collaboration between CPA’s Prison Arts and the Russell Library, celebrating the work of artists reentering our community. Together, we hope to dignify, encourage, and broadcast the work of these artists. The show will run from October 15 – November 30, 2020.
