The Art Center’s Second-Floor Community Gallery will feature, Perceptions Reimagined: Art from the Women at Edna Mahan an exhibition of work created by incarcerated artists at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility (EMCF) who are students in Raritan Valley Community College Professor Cara London’s art class. The students created these artworks during class and on their own, and the resulting artworks were previously displayed at the EMCF Art Show this past spring. These artists are participants in the New Jersey Scholarship and Transformative Education in Prisons program (NJ-STEP), a voluntary program that enables incarcerated people to earn college credits. The artists featured in the exhibition are: Abdul-Kha’leef Kamila Carson, Briann Lindsey, Trystal Lozada, Ashley Romero, and Denise Staples.
