We argue frequently in our country about the correct placement of people who have harmed other people. While the criminal justice debate goes on, two facts remain: 1) people incarcerated are still human beings, and 2) we incarcerate a lot of them.
Open Sky Gallery in Montague describes itself as a “Justice-impacted and inspired Art Venue & Gathering Place.” The art comes from either people who’ve done time–some are still serving time–or members of the families of people locked up or hurt by people sent to prison.
A new exhibit opens this week (February 25th), featuring the work of six artists. We get a description of the art, and the larger purpose, from Open Sky Director Snow Thorner... who is also Area Ambassador for Compassion Prison Project.
