Formerly Incarcerated Artists

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Feb 20, 2019

A new exhibit at Studio 525 in Chelsea called “The O.G. Experience” exclusively features artwork created by formerly incarcerated artists. Co-curators and artists Russell Craig and Jesse Krimes join us to discuss the show. Craig and Krimes are also the co-chairs of the Right of Return fellowship, which invests in formerly incarcerated artists, supporting the creation of original works produced in partnership with advocates and organizers to further criminal justice reform efforts.
