Art from Within

On behalf of the members of Art From Within, you are invited to attend the 2nd art exhibit displaying artwork from the Grant County Detention Center.

Art from Within (AFW) is a grassroots organization that developed after the first art exhibit last year where art pieces from Grant County Detention Center inmates were displayed. AFW supports opportunities for incarcerated and re-integrating individuals to develop their talents, values, and self-worth through creative expression. Eventually, we plan to expand the program to include teachers to teach other mediums of art, community art projects to include the work of incarcerated or previously incarcerated artists, and special projects to involve families.

The art exhibit Art Beyond Bars on Monday, May 7 at 6 p.m. at the WNMU Miller Library.
