This year the Mobile Art Gallery is collaborating with the Stillwater Prison Literary and Visual Arts Program to create a group exhibition titled, “Artwork, once captive has gone free.” The exhibition will showcase various paintings and 6-word memoirs.

The anonymized artwork is part of an initiative to provide an opportunity to provide educational, vocational, and industrial skills needed for a successful transition back into society.

In addition to the Mobile Art Gallery, there will be a free public lecture held at the Stillwater Public Library on July 24th at 6pm with formally incarcerated inmate Zeke Caligiuri, an award-winning author and prison rights advocate.
