PRISON ART TODAY

Date:August 18th, 2012
Time:7:30pm
Information:For the past several years Dr. Eva Bouzard-Hui, EdD, has taught art to prisoners in New Jersey. She is presenting over 40 prints of the prisoners work in a an art show sponsored by 3rd Saturday Arts at Ethical Cultural Society of Essex County (ECSEC), 516 Prospect Street, Maplewood. The opening was on Saturday, July 21. Due to the growing interest in the art, 3rd Saturday Arts is hosting two receptions for Eva to discuss the prisoners' work. The first was on Friday, August 17th, at 2:00 PM; and the second reception is this one on Saturday, August 18th, at 7:30 PM. 

The prints create a sense of the artistic variation in the prisoners' two dimensional visual work in various media and will stay on display through Sunday, September 9th. The prints are offered for a $25 donation to the Society from which 50% will be provided Eva for reimbursement of the considerable cost of materials for her class. Admittance to the show is free. 

Private viewing of the art at other times can be arranged by contacting 3rd Saturday Arts Coordinator, Gus Lindquist, via email at hglindquist@gmail.com. Please allow time for Gus to reply as his schedule permits.
