Benefit for Prison Arts

Hi Friend of the Arts,

We hope you can join us for an evening of music, art and community!
This joint venture between WJA's Prison Arts Project and Barrios Unidos will be an opportunity for us to create an artistic dialogue about the social issue of incarceration.
Dr. Loco [Prof. Jose Cuellar] will be featured. The Jack Bowers Quartet will provide a musical backbone, and several artists who've worked in different prison settings will testify.

- Monday, September 26th - 7:30 to 9:30 PM - 1817 Soquel Avenue -


For over thirty years in the William James Association and Santa Cruz Barrios Unidos have dedicated themselves to providing cultural enrichment for men and women in California prisons. Join us as we kick off our campaign to bring arts programs to prisoners in Santa Cruz CountyJails and continue arts programs in the state institutions. Artists who taught in the Arts in Corrections program will speak about their experience teaching in California prisons.
