Updated April 5, 2023: the works of art recently shown in the Duderstadt Center Gallery are now viewable, and unsold works may be purchased, by visiting the Prison Creative Arts Project site.
Recent Exhibit: Duderstadt Center Gallery, March 21 – April 4
The 27th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons showcases the hard work and talents of artists incarcerated in Michigan prisons.
The work is by men and women from all 25 state prisons in both the upper and the lower peninsulas: 24 men’s prisons and 1 women’s prison.
This year there are 645 works in two and three dimensions, including portraits, tattoo imagery, landscapes, fantasy, and wildlife as well as images about incarceration and visions that are entirely new. Visit the Prison Creative Arts Project to learn more.
We invite you to enjoy the work and, if you like, make a purchase. All proceeds, minus necessary taxes and fees, go directly to the artists.
