Justice Arts Coalition

Justice Arts Coalition Justice Arts Coalition is a national network supporting and connecting artists working in and around the US carceral system.
(5)

Through the sharing of stories and resources, and by using the arts as a bridge between people inside and outside of carceral institutions, JAC unites teaching artists, arts advocates, and currently and formerly incarcerated artists and allies, harnessing the transformative power of the arts to reimagine justice. This work stems from the premise that art can serve as connective tissue, weaving its

way back and forth through prison walls to foster and strengthen relationships between people inside and out. Art can remind us of our shared humanity, of our common struggles and sacrifices, and that every one of us has unique gifts and a unique story to share. To create a work of art, a song, a dance, or a poem within the barren confines of prison is truly a courageous and liberatory act—a reclaiming of identity, of possibility, of worth; a demand to be visible. JAC affirms and uplifts those who venture onto this path towards internal freedom and creates opportunities for their voices to be a part of and influence public discourse.
