Artists with Conviction is an annual exhibition that provides prisoners within Tasmania Prison Service as well as offenders serving orders with Community Corrections with the opportunity to display their art and written pieces in the community.
The annual Artists with Conviction exhibition is a unique showcase of creativity and resilience. This year’s theme, Behind These Eyes, invites you to explore the profound and personal stories of prisoners of the Tasmania Prison Service facilities, offenders serving orders with Community Corrections, and Department of Justice staff.
Through a diverse range of art forms including painting, drawing, sculpture, woodwork and writing, these artists offer a rare glimpse into their inner worlds. Each piece reflects elements of their journey, emotions and perspectives, providing a powerful testament to the human spirit and the transformative power of art.
Now in its fourteenth year, this exhibition provides you with an opportunity to support and celebrate the artistic talents of those who often remain unseen. Experience the raw and compelling expressions of individuals striving for redemption and connection in our community.
