Rising Art Exhibit

The mural entitled 'Rising' is inspired by the experiences of incarcerated men at Elmwood Correctional Facility and formerly incarcerated men living in South County. The purpose of the art exhibit is to shine light upon these men by providing a platform for their voices to be heard, so that they may share their lived experiences and inspire others to heal by turning pain into transformation through art. The theme of the men’s mural project is centered around exploring experiences with fatherhood - as a father and/or experiences with their own fathers.
