Justice Arts Coalition | Call for Artists and Writers

Justice Arts Coalition, a national network and resource for those creating art in and around the criminal legal system, seeks artists and writers, ages 18 and over, to participate in the the pARTner project, an opportunity to foster connection with artists in prison through letter correspondence and the exchange of creative works. Unlike typical penpal programs, the pARTner project’s focus on the arts provides an immediate point of connection — a common ground shared by all who have felt the power of creative expression in shaping who we are, how we see the world around us, and how we see ourselves.
