The Prison Arts Project started in 1977 as the original model for Arts in Corrections, a statewide California prison arts program which helped lower recidivism (return-to-prison rates) and improve the quality of life for tens of thousands of incarcerated people, their families, and the larger community. San Quentin State Prison’s program offers fourteen classes in visual arts, writing, and music, taught by twelve professional artists. For this exhibition, artists produced a variety of works focusing on birds. They often represent freedom, aspiration, and transcendence.
