Mission

THE CENTER FOR ART AND ADVOCACY (THE CENTER) WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2022 TO SERVE AS A DIRECT PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY AND EQUITY FOR ARTISTS DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. BUILT ON THE SUCCESS OF THE RIGHT OF RETURN FELLOWSHIP (ROR), FOUNDED IN 2017 BY INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED AND FORMERLY INCARCERATED ARTISTS JESSE KRIMES AND RUSSELL CRAIG, THE CENTER WAS CREATED TO PROVIDE A MULTI-PURPOSED NETWORK THAT ACTIVELY ENGAGES IN THE CONVERSATION ABOUT TRANSFORMATIVE JUSTICE PRACTICES-AND THE CRITICAL ROLE THEY PLAY IN THE ARTS COMMUNITY-AT LARGE.
