The Council on Crime and Justice presents
The Art and Justice Benefit and Exhibit
The Exhibit will showcase art created by prisoners, ex-prisoners, victims of crime, juveniles and children at risk, artists whose sensibilities or work reflects a social justice theme or has a connection to the Council’s mission, and similarly themed art donated by institutions or individuals. The exhibit will include drawings, paintings, prints and photographs as well as sculpture, textiles, jewelry, pottery, poetry, books, film clips, etc.
Note: The work does not necessarily need to have a social justice theme.
The opening night, November 19th, will be the 2009 Art and Justice Benefit, this year’s version of the Council’s annual Equal Justice Benefit. All art submitted will be displayed to the public for the first time that evening, and certain pieces will also be sold to benefit the Council. A portion of the sale proceeds will be shared with participating artists.
