VOICES: An Art Excursion
Opening Monday, October 14th:
Indigenous Peoples Day
A Journey through the work of three currently incarcerated writers and painters. We are also honored to show the work of a woman artist held behind bars years ago in Europe and how her art has progressed in the decades since then. This exhibit is tied together with the newest 3-D art of local returning artist Michael Louis Mollo.
We bring fine art together with the power of trauma awareness and healing. Our community gallery is focused on artists and writers who are or once were incarcerated, their families, victims of crime and victims’ families.
By showing and selling art and creative writing, we are providing an opportunity for system-impacted artists to integrate into society, increase their self worth and heal from trauma.
Our gallery is also poised to provide onsite artists’ residencies and gatherings to build community, foster engagement, education and social connection. In our first 12 months, we have hosted over 35 well attended public events as well as four private events.
Open Sky Art Gallery is the first Justice-impacted and inspired Art Venue and Gathering Place in the Pacific Northwest.
"It is my responsibility as an artist to give voice and humanize a population (myself included) that is often unfairly demonized and stereotyped..."
