PCAP exhibits bring the artwork of incarcerated artists into the public realm in order to humanize prisoners, break stereotypes and create dialogue about mass incarceration.
PCAP offers programming year-round that brings the University of Michigan community and those impacted by the justice system into creative collaboration for mutual learning and growth.
The Linkage Community is an alliance of artists and creators with lived experience in prison who are interested in deepening their craft in spaces of radical acceptance and authentic connections.
The Michigan Review of Prisoner Creative Writing showcases the talent and diversity of writers incarcerated in Michigan. It features writing from both beginning and experienced writers - writing that comes from the heart and is unique, well-crafted, and lively.
Support the 29th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons at this exciting event! Join us Saturday, December 7, at the Michigan Union or bid online from anywhere.
There are many different ways to get involved in PCAP for students, volunteers, formerly incarcerated folks, and the families and friends of people currently incarcerated.
We strive to support our students and faculty on the front lines of
learning and research and to steward our planet, our community, our
campus. To do this, the Prison Creative Arts Project needs your support.
