Art, Incarceration, and Healing our Community

  • Creators Space 218 7th Street East Saint Paul, MN, 55101 United States (map)

Join us for a special event focusing on art, incarceration, and healing our community. Experience TRANSFORMATION, a powerful art experience giving voice to incarcerated artists in Minnesota’s correctional facilities in Stillwater and Shakopee. Participants will be invited to create a community quilt and participate in an informative introductory discussion about the healing nature of art and the process of creating it through a guided Art Therapy experience. Every participant will receive a bag of art supplies to take home!

During this experience, we hope to provide a safe space that will

  • cultivate mindfulness and compassion

  • transform judgment to acceptance

  • orient the body and mind in the present

  • increase connection with the self and with others

  • gain understanding of how we all fit together in a diverse community

  • create a broader understanding of what it means to be human without any labels

We will be joined by clinical program therapist from MCF-Faribault, Liz Bechel and Dr. Raj Sethuraju, associate professor at Metropolitan State University in the School of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice.
