Instagram post 2195927266612170263_7075022444 DMV peeps! Please join Justice Arts Coalition as we team up with Red Dirt Studio for a festive card-making event this Sunday from 10:30-12:30. We want to be sure all of the incarcerated artists in our network receive a handmade holiday greeting from someone who cares. Join us to draw, color, write and collaborate. We’ll have supplies on hand, but if you’d like to bring markers, colored pencils, paper — please do!!! We can use it. Stop in to make a card or two, learn more about our work, and enjoy good company, coffee and bagels. 🎨✍🏽🤝🥯☕️🎼💜 Bring the whole family! ➡️ link in bio for event details! - - - - - - - - - - - - Image: "Love Doves" 2018 Quilling by Lousk, created while incarcerated at a youth detention center in Oregon. #quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted and otherwise manipulated to create shapes which make up designs to decorate greetings cards, pictures, boxes, eggs, and to make models, jewelry, mobiles etc. Quilling starts with rolling a strip of paper into a coil and then pinching the coil into shapes that can be glued together. - - - - - - - @washingtonstudioschool @washingtoncitypaper @washingtonianmag @wpfwdc @loveandsolidarity @joesmovement @gatewayartists @sanctuariesdc @onecommonunity #dcartscene #dcartist #communityarts #reddirtstudio #holidaycards #incarceratedartists #artforjustice #endmassincarceration

Instagram post 2190730316597968110_7075022444 It’s Justice Arts Coalition’s first Giving Tuesday! As this first year of JAC’s development as a 501c3 comes to a close, please support our efforts to make JAC sustainable. If you have benefitted from or found value in our work, consider making a one-time donation or show your ongoing commitment by becoming a sustaining member, helping to ensure that the resources and services JAC provides remain available to all who might benefit. Since 2008, JAC (previously known as the Prison Arts Coalition) has been uniting teaching artists, arts advocates, incarcerated artists, their loved ones, and allies, harnessing the transformative power of the arts as we work together to reimagine justice through a creative lens. Having very few resources at our disposal hasn’t stopped us from making a significant impact. Recently, JAC served as adviser to a team of journalists at the Washington Post, linking them with artists in prison whose work was featured in a groundbreaking special edition of the Post Magazine. JAC was interviewed for a New York Times piece in October. But long before the New York Times or the Washington Post started paying attention, JAC championed the valuable role that the arts play in the lives of system-impacted individuals, shifting narratives about the incarcerated and rethinking the meaning of justice. Everything JAC does is connected to and fueled by our vision: to spark the necessary curiosity, empathy, compassion, and ingenuity that is required to dismantle an unjust criminal legal system. JAC believes in the power of the arts to transform the system and the lives of those most impacted by it, and we want to continue our work to generate a critical mass of people who share in this belief. We look to you -- our friends, constituents, partners, collaborators, mentors -- to help make this possible. Please donate today by following the link in our bio. #givingtuesday #artforjustice #prisonart #artconnectsus #artistheanswer #endmassincarceration #transformativejustice #abolishprisons

Waterfalls and ocean scenes are my favorite thing to paint because it is alive. I feel like I can walk right into the picture and breathe in and smell all the flowers and trees, feel the moisture of the crisp water and even find a rabbit hiding in a log. it is a walk I can share with anyone who wants to discover this place. Thank you for letting me do this. It lets me be somewhere beautiful for a while.” – artist Lori Lovely #artchangeseverything #artforliberation #artforjustice #incarceratedartists #prisonart #endmassincarceration #justiceartscoalition

It’s of a sickly me working on a healthier version of myself.” Visit our blog to read more from incarcerated artist R. Zumar in his new post, The Becomings of a Master, Part 2: Bohemia. We’re so grateful to artists like R. for trusting us with their work and their stories. We’re thinking of them and their loved ones on this Thanksgiving. We’re thinking about them every day. 💜 #artconnectsus #artforliberation #incarceratedartists #artforjustice #endmassincarceration #abolishprisons

Your letter came at a time when I was feeling down. You have helped inspire me and my creativity. Thank you for that. -- CB This #GivingTuesday, please help us make sure every incarcerated artist who entrusts their work to JAC receives feedback and support from people on the outside. In order to do this, we need space for volunteers to gather regularly to write letters in response to the artwork and inquires sent to us from people in prison, as well as basic supplies like envelopes, stamps, and paper. 🎨✍🏽💌📬💜 Our fundraising goal is $2000.

Instagram post 2180631530207159977_7075022444 #Repost @werepjustice ・・・ Today, we’re incredibly excited to announce the largest prison mural in the world, a project we’ve been organizing with world renowned artist @JR. This image, which can be seen from an airplane at 30,000 feet inside the walls of @cacorrections, is part of a portrait series highlighting stories of 48 incredible humans – currently and formerly incarcerated citizens, families impacted by incarceration, and victims of crime. This installation features audio and video testimonies designed for you to hear their stories of mercy, rehabilitation, and their experiences in America’s legal system. __ Join #REPRESENTJUSTICE and change your perspective of who's seen as worthy of redemption and mercy: representjustice.org/JR-signup __ To hear each of their stories download the JR Murals app: Android: bit.ly/JRmuralsPlay IOS: bit.ly/JRmurals __ This could not have been possible without partnership from @onecommunity, @antirecidivismcoalition, @cacorrections, @JR and his entire team, and Warden Joe Sullivan of Tehachapi prison. Thank you. __ "When the piece was pasted we decided to wait for a couple of weeks so we could put together a platform for everyone to hear the stories. Why? Because we know that it is a sensitive subject and we wanted anyone to be able to listen to stories of hope and redemption, to get testimonies that one doesn't normally hear. Because what happened there when these men, their guards, and some victims worked all together on an art piece has to be seen. We wanted to share the process and embrace the complexity of human actions and feelings that we have witnessed. These men have been judged guilty when they were young, some were dragged into gangs and did heavy mistakes, and they have paid or are paying the price. They say that they changed and they are ready to become active citizens, to give a meaning to their lives.” — @JR

Instagram post 2177822137698728048_7075022444 👀Peep this, #dmv friends! 👀 New documentary @16barsthefilm featuring @speech__ from @arresteddevelopment__ is showing at @afisilvertheatre on Monday night. “16 BARS offers a rare glimpse at the human stories and songs locked away in our nation’s jails and prisons. The documentary follows a unique rehabilitation effort in a Virginia jail that encourages inmates to write and record original music. In the jail’s makeshift recording studio, four men collaborate to produce an album with Grammy-winner Todd “Speech” Thomas of Arrested Development. As the creative process unfolds, these incarcerated artists must confront the traumas of their past, and music becomes the key to unlocking a new chapter in their lives.” The film starts at 7:15 and will be followed by a panel discussion with Tyrone Parker (CEO, @allianceofconcernedmen) and Frank Malone (CEO, @100fathers ), moderated by Lyn Twyman (CEO of LASERS: Leaving Abuse Supporting Everyone Restoring Survivors). 🎼🎧🎤🔥✊🏽 Tickets: https://tinyurl.com/16BarsAFI 🗣Please help spread the word!🗣 Hope to see you there!!! #artsinprison #artforliberation #incarceratedartists #artforjustice #transformativejustice #artmatters #dmvarts #dcnightlife @freemindsbookclub @voices_unbarred @heardnova @hatless67 @boozerreddirt @oneinfourpodcast @flikshop
