Impact Arts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to generating arts classes, programs, and exhibitions in and around the criminal-legal system in Colorado. They bring visibility to the creative work of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated artists and advocate for the importance of the arts as a healing and transformative tool in carceral spaces. For this exhibition at East Window Gallery, Impact Arts presents works by three artists incarcerated at Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility: Hector Castillo, Sonny Lee, and Mario Rios. All three men are gifted painters and storytellers who use their artwork to convey deep and uncomfortable truths about our system of mass incarceration.
