I’m just home from Ann Arbor where I spent the last week of March at the 13th Annual Prison Art Show. This year, more than three hundred pieces of artwork were displayed at the Duderstadt Center Gallery at the University of Michigan. I gave a speech as part of the celebrations, had good talks with Prison Creative Arts Project students, got to hear men and women very recently released from prison speak about what making art and the Art Show meant during their years inside, witnessed an excellent teaching arts program in many of its manifestations, and shared deep conversations with professors Buzz Alexander and Janie Paul about this work that involves both art-making and social justice.
