Duderstadt Center Gallery
Prison Creative Arts Project’s Annual Exhibition is the largest and longest-running art show of its kind in the U.S. Now in its 30th anniversary, this exhibition features over 800 original works by 600+ artists currently incarcerated in Michigan. The artwork featured in the exhibit is a testament to the resilience of artists and the power of art under the most difficult of circumstances – incarceration, isolation, and unimaginable loss. It is an important reminder of the connections that sustain us all, both in the free world and behind the walls.
