PCAP exhibits bring the artwork of incarcerated artists into the public realm in order to humanize people in prison, break stereotypes, and create dialogue about mass incarceration.
PCAP’s Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons (aka. “the art show”) is one of the largest exhibits of artwork by incarcerated artists in the world. The exhibition will be celebrating its 28th anniversary and regularly exhibits hundreds of pieces of art. It runs for two weeks each winter semester in Ann Arbor. Students and volunteers can participate in art selection, installation, and art show events.
PCAP has produced a variety of Digital exhibitions in collaboration with local and global organizations and stakeholders. These online exhibitions feature poetry, videos, photography, paintings, drawings, and more that illustrate the experience of incarcerated artists in Michigan and across the world.
