inStudio with Empowerment Avenue is a non-profit whose mission is to normalize the inclusion of incarcerated creatives in public art spaces, film platforms and publications by bridging the gap between them and harnessing this creative proximity as a path to de-carceration and public safety. inStudio and our Visual Arts for Liberation program centers currently incarcerated and system-impacted artists as creators and collaborators.
This space holds an ongoing exchange between artists inside and the communities beyond prison walls. Here, artists are not presented as stories to be consumed. Instead, they are co-designers who produce exhibitions, installations, and ongoing creative work, shaping how their stories, ideas, and imaginations are experienced. This studio is part of a cultural engine that continues beyond any single show. The work does not begin or end on these walls. It moves. It builds. It continues.
Hours: 5:00PM – 9:00PM First Fridays and by appointment
