Art Behind Walls

Children’s Prison Art Project presents Art Behind Walls, an exhibit by youth who are in juvenile facilities.  January 5 – February 2, 2018, at Talento Bilingue de Houston.  Reception on Thursday, January 11, from 6pm to 9pm.

Our program Art Behind Walls: A Window to the Future consists of workshops that demonstrate to incarcerated youth the significance of their own experiences and voices, and provide them with an environment in which they can experience success.

To date, over 27,000 youth have participated in the programs, and more than 260 original performances have been written and performed by incarcerated youth.

Further, over the last 14 years, CPAP has exhibited juvenile offender visual artwork widely throughout Houston and Harris County in both traditional and nontraditional venues, including museums, galleries, libraries, local community centers, cafés and coffee houses, youth centers and art spaces.
