    Event Details

    Join Saint Louis University to witness that in prison, as everywhere, art draws a circle around its participants and creates a space to relax, reflect, research, freely express ideas, connect with like-minded people and be more fully themselves. Expressions from Within invites you to view work from an open studio held at the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center, a men's state prison in Bonne Terre, Missouri. Featured artists come from a self-selected group working under the guidance of Stan Chisholm, the SLU Prison Education Program's artist-in-residence. Their work ranges from portraiture, comics, logos, and origami to clothing and shoe design, typography, fantasy, landscapes and abstraction, using a variety of media.   

    Light appetizers and drinks will be served; remarks will start at 5:15 p.m.
