Santa Monica College Exhibition: From January 14th through March 1st, 2022, Santa Monica College collaborated with Prison Arts Collective on an exhibition titled Art + Transformation at The Barrett Gallery in conjunction with The Broad Stage’s production of Fidelio. 

 

At the gallery, PAC program alumni, Dominique Tanks, Raul Zarate, Robert Imes, and John Rodriguez led a creative arts workshop and participated in an empowering panel discussion led by PAC Director and Founder, Annie Buckley that offered the public a chance to experience the creativity, reflection, and engagement of a PAC class. The panel discussion, moderated by PAC Founder and Director, Annie Buckley, featured the four teaching artists and explored how the arts impact individual and communal transformation.

​

Place4Grace: We want to thank Place4Grace for inviting PAC to their Family Summer Kickoff to share “Little Green Froggy,'' a special children’s book created and donated by Timothy, an artist and longtime PAC program participant at California Institution for Men. 

 

We can't think of a better partner for this project than Place 4 Grace, dedicated to supporting children and families impacted by incarceration. We want to thank our Board Member Alex Masushige, for volunteering to share the book and lead a puppet-making activity with Place 4 Grace's community. We are so glad PAC got to share Timothy’s work with Place4Grace and can't wait for future communities to have access to this special book and activity.
