“Art is myself made real - a physical record for others to experience. My inspiration for art is social change to our prison and justice systems, sharing emotion and love with all.”
Matthew Dolven, AFTI artist
April 19 - June 14, 2026
Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1200 Marquette Avenue (the corner of Nicollet Mall and 12th Street in downtown Minneapolis)
Supported in part by a grant from the SPM Foundation.
This upcoming exhibit features artwork by artists who are currently incarcerated in Minnesota and is guided by the question: If your heart could speak, what would it say? Through visual art and storytelling, the exhibition offers deeply personal reflections on identity, love, loss, resilience, and hope within the confines of incarceration. By centering lived experience and emotional truth, the exhibit invites viewers to experience the art and reflect on the shared inner landscapes that connect us all.
“Art is huge to me. It helps express and gets things out of my head and onto paper. Art is something you can always start over or re-do, it is a second life full of endless chances.”
Alicia Mohrland, AFTI artist
