Artists Everywhere

Artists Everywhere brings stories from formerly incarcerated writers to life through professionally produced films. Written as plays and adapted into films by Playwrights Project teaching artist and filmmaker Chris Boyd, the films are presented on five screens with headsets. As if viewing paintings in a gallery, you choose the order and duration of your viewing experience with each film—you may even have the chance to interact with the writers and artists behind the works.
