 ides prisoners within Tasmania Prison Service (TPS) facilities\, as well
  as offenders serving orders with Community Corrections with the opportu
 nity to showcase their creativity through art and written work in the co

  writing is an annual showcase of creativity and resilience. Now in its 
 sixteenth consecutive year\, the theme of this year’s exhibition is â€
 ˜Something Different’. Over the years\, the exhibition has supported p
 risoners and offenders by providing opportunities for creative expressio
 n\, healing and personal development. Through the artistic process\, par
 ticipants can safely explore and express complex emotions and experience
 s\, helping them build self-awareness\, process personal challenges and 
 develop positive coping strategies.\n\n\n\nProducing creative work and p
 articipating in the exhibition also helps the prisoners and offenders de
 velop new skills and talents\, which can boost self-esteem and build con
 fidence. This sense of achievement can be an important step for rehabili
 tation and reintegration back into the community.\n\n\n\nThe diversity o
 f work at this years’ exhibition is striking\, from intricate woodwork
  to evocative poetry\, knitted sculptures and thoughtful paintings and d
 rawings.\n\n\n\nArtworks are available for sale\, with all monies going 
 to the artists.\n\n\n\nAll welcome!–––––Panel Event Informatio

 ers who work behind the walls of Risdon Prison and find out how art and
