The Prison Arts Coalition is a group of people involved in arts in criminal justice who met at a recent conference and decided to organize. The group met at Critical Resistance 10, September 26-28, 2008, in Oakland, Calif., says writer Judith Tannenbaum in an e-mail, "to continue our efforts to form a coalition among people making and sharing art inside prison, jail, post-release programs, etc." The coalition's first effort is a Prison Arts blog where, writes Tannenbaum, you can "visit and add information about your program, as well as information about resources and events. Please write a post about your work or other relevant matters. This Prison Arts Coalition blog site will allow us to talk with each other in a way many have requested. The group of us that gathered at CR10 are in the process of developing what we need (mission statement, etc) to create an actual Prison Arts Coalition entity. We hope to find funding that will allow in-person gatherings as well as many ways to share the work we're all doing. We'll post whatever we come up with on the blog site."
