Escaping Time: Art from U.S. Prisons

Escap­ing Time: Art from U.S. Pris­ons exhibits and sells art­works cre­at­ed with­in prison walls nation­wide. Through art, Escap­ing Time works to bring aware­ness to the peo­ple and issues that exist with­in the carcer­al sys­tem, change the nar­ra­tive, and break the stereo­type of what soci­ety imag­ines when think­ing about the incarcerated. 

Their 2025 sea­son on Gov­er­nors Island will include an exhi­bi­tion of paint­ings and sculp­tures, along with a prison art work­shop, pan­el dis­cus­sions, and a doc­u­men­tary view­ing as they explore the theme of ​“The Rip­ple Effect” and the ways in which the carcer­al sys­tem impacts far more than the per­son who is incarcerated.
