One of the highlights of the Mural Arts Program’s new project is that it’s giving a voice to people who don’t normally have one. A mural created by two formerly incarcerated artists will be dedicated at 4 p.m. today in front of the State Department of Corrections Community Corrections Center on Eighth Street near Callowhill, followed by the opening of the Voices exhibition at the Painted Bride Art Center. Mural Arts had already been working on a series that deals with the criminal justice system, but funding from the Robert Wood Johnson and Ford Foundations helped them develop something new. The Voices exhibit features artwork and projects by visual artists Hank Wilis Thomas and Ursula Rucker, CUNY criminal justice Professor Baz Dreisinger, and formerly incarcerated artists Jesse Krimes and Russell Craig.
