IUPAI’s main goal is to send IU instructors into prisons to teach college-level courses in visual arts, creative writing, and bookmaking. The exhibition at Bloomington City Hall features artwork from 10 students from the Putnamville Correctional Facility. The theme is 'Free to Wonder.' “It prioritized their own expression, so we gave them constructive feedback to help them out but it was very much their own story and I think that’s why you see so much diversity in the exhibition — so many different perspectives so many different stories," Program Coordinator Oliver Nell said.
