Event Description

This ArtLinks event is presented in partnership with Justice Arts Coalition (JAC), a national network and resource center for those creating art in and around the criminal legal system. This event will provide 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. We want all of the artists who have entrusted their work to JAC to know how much they matter, so we hope that you will join us for this ArtLinks event! Register here.

This is the first ArtLinks event to be offered in Cedar Rapids and is hosted by Coe's Prison Learning Initiative.

Event will be in Room 203, Dows Fine Arts Center.
