We are pleased to announce that the Prison Art Gallery, in conjunction with its parent organization the Prisons Foundation, will be presenting a two-hour show at the Kennedy Center this Labor Day weekend, September 2007. The show is entitled "How Music Helped Me Escape from Prison" and will consist of singers and musicians who put their interest in music to productive ends while behind bars.
If you are an ex-prisoner musician or singer, or know of an ex-prisoner musician/singer, there is still time to be included in the show. Each performer will have a designated amount of time to perform songs of her or his choice with brief remarks about how these songs helped her/him rise above the prison experience. For further information, please call 202-393-1511.
