Art Links

At ArtLinks events, participants view a selection of works by incarcerated artists, discuss them together and then write short notes to the artists. In partnership with Justice Arts Coalition, a national network and resource center for those creating art in and around the criminal legal system.

This event provides participants with an opportunity to view new work by incarcerated artists in JAC’s network. Participants are encouraged to share feedback, reflections and encouragement with the artists through hand-written letters, which JAC sends off to the artists. Time and time again, JAC hears how much it means to the artists to know that folks on the outside are seeing, appreciating and being impacted by their work. Knowing that you took time to engage with their work, and that it spoke to you, brings them hope and validation and inspires them to keep creating.
