San Quentin Prison Arts Project proudly presents The View from Here in collaboration with Philadelphia Mural Arts. Over the past year, incarcerated artists from San Quentin Rehabilitation Center and Philadelphia’s State Correctional Institution (SCI) Phoenix engaged in a creative exchange, bridging the art programs at both prisons. The theme – The View from Here – emerged from the artists’ communications, exploring life inside prison and the realms where their minds wander beyond its gates. This exhibition features artwork from incarcerated artists at both prisons, alongside letters exchanged between them. The collection will be displayed in Philadelphia and the Bay Area, reflecting a bi-coastal collaboration.
