"Looking Inward/Looking Outward" is an exhibit of personal and public artwork by men in the Mural Program at the Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution at Graterford. The exhibit opens March 2-May 31, 2006, at the Thomas Eakins House in Philadelphia, headquarters of the city's Mural Arts Program. The show features self-portraits and images of murals completed since the prison program began in 2002. Immediately following the March 2 reception will be a lecture by poet Grady Hillman, currently directing arts programs for two juvenile probation departments and an inner-city, high-risk youth project in Austin, Tex. (Hillman wrote the arts-in-corrections overview essay for CAN.) The Mural Program at SCI-Graterford is a Community Works Program supported by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, Ford Foundation and City of Philadelphia. [LINK] Posted by Linda Frye Burnham
