Partners sought for Prison Art Galleries in cities and towns across America

[Courtesy of our friends at Prison Art Gallery] Establish a Prison Art Gallery in your city or town by selecting a portion of our huge collection for display and sale there. As you may know from visiting our Prison Art Gallery in Washington, DC, we have a popular establishment with a huge inventory of Prison Art from across America. Not only do we get buyers from among locals and visitors to Washington (who often become regular donors and supporters of our nonprofit organization), but we get grants from art and social justice agencies. The favorable media attention we have received form newspapers, magazines, radio and TV has been extensive. All this can now be yours if you choose to partner with us to establish a Prison Art Gallery in your town or city. We have the prison art and expertise you need to get started, and the cost to do so is surprisingly low. Use your existing wall space or acqure new space.

Prison Art Gallery: Talk and Art Show by Artist Wellington Waters

Don't miss the next free Justice Sunday reception at the Prison Art Gallery. It's a talk and showing of art by ex-prisoner artist Wellington Waters. Wellington spent decades in prison, but he didn't leave empty handed. He came out with important artistic and design skills that allowed him to become employed at Kinkos, where he worked his way up to manager. He also started his own graphic design company, Waters Edge Grafixx, which now has several prestigious clients. Wellington designed the terrific flyers for the recent highly successful "From Prison to the Stage" show at the Kennedy Center. Not only did Wellington leave prison five years ago with important skills, but he took a supportive staffer with him. They were married after his release and remain in that happy state today.
