<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3><i>Art Behind Bars/Art
Release</i></font> is a project that was started in 2004 in Los Angeles
to exhibit work by artists in California's Supermax prisons. The project
highlights the brutality and ineffectiveness of the penal system and
reminds us of the humanity and worth of the men and women held in
prisons. Tonight's art show will feature dozens of works drawn by
prisoners. Margie Ghiz of
<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3><i>Art Behind Bars</i></font>
will speak about her project, focusing especially on the role of Security
Housing Units in California. Ed Mead, the editor of
<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3><i>Prison Art
Newsletter</i></font> and president of California Prison Focus, will
speak about incarceration and alternatives to the current criminal
justice system. This event is endorsed by California Prison Focus,
Freedom Archives and Prison Art Newsletter.<br>
