Prison Art Gallery: Our First Spring Prison Art Show in Downtown, DC

Submitted by dguard on

 

It's fun, it's free, it's convenient, and it features (live, in person) ex-prisoner artist Jahi Foster-Bey. Join us as we unveil our latest prisoner-made art and jewelry for 2010. It's happening this Saturday and Sunday (March 13 and 14) 10 AM to 6 PM at the north entrance of the Dupont Circle Metro in downtown Washington, DC.

 

Multi-talented artist Jahi Foster-Bey will be on hand to answer your questions about creating art in prison and what it takes to succeed as an artist on outside. You've seen Jahi perform at the Kennedy Center, viewed his commissioned work in Spin magazine, and seen his extraordinary art on display at the Prison Art Gallery. Now meet him in person and purchase a unique ring, bracelet or necklace he created for just $15.  Come out and show your support, while walking away with something beautiful.

 

If you're not going to be in Washington, DC during the weekend, please visit our website by clicking here to view and purchase hundreds of works created by presently or formerly imprisoned artists.  Thank you.
