27th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons

The 27th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan, showcases the work of incarcerated artists living 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 over 700 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. 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. Gallery hours for the exhibit are Sunday–Monday: 12:00 PM–6:00 PM, Tuesday–Saturday: 10:00 AM–7:00 PM Presented with support from U-M Residential College and the Michigan Arts and Culture Council
