UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN PRISON CREATIVE ART PROJECT
Can you imagine 18 prison art workshops taking place in 2022, serving over 300 incarcerated prisoners, and 714 works of art by 443 incarcerated artists being included in an Annual Exhibition? That is what the U of M Prison Creative Art Project has done.
Founded in 1990 with a single theatre workshop, PCAP has grown to include undergraduate courses, exhibitions, publications, a prison reentry arts program, and events that reach thousands of individuals each year. It brings those impacted by the justice system together with the University of Michigan community for artistic collaboration, mutual learning, and growth.
PCAP programs include:

An Annual Art Exhibition on the U of M campus featuring prisoners’ art from every state prison in Michigan.
Courses and workshops for undergraduate participation in prison arts workshops and training in issues of incarceration and the arts.
A Literary review highlighting the talent and diversity of Michigan’s incarcerated artists.
A Linkage Project connecting artists with professional development resources and a peer support network.

Come to the Mission Moment after worship on July 13 to hear Mattie Leavy, PCAP Engagement Coordinator, give an overview of the project. This is another opportunity to support prisoner reentry positively impacting our communities.
