Inside Out: IncARceraTion at T.W.Wood Gallery
12:00pm-4:00pm Inside Out: IncARceraTion at T.W.Wood GalleryNuquist and Contemporary Hall Galleries: Inside Out: IncARceraTion Inside--->OUT : incARceraTion” is a traveling collaborative project between incarcerated Artists in the WV Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and Goddard College student Reentry Advocates exploring the intersections between trauma, addiction, incarceration, and reentry. Leonard Cohen once said, “There is a crack in everything. That is how the light gets in.” Inside--->OUT:IncARceraTion explores the humanity of incarcerated individuals and meaningfully considers the reality of their journeys to become whole and healthy individuals, using their abilities to put good into the world, even while being excluded from it. The work considers how trauma, addiction, and incarceration can all be forms of imprisonment. The works hold in tension the realities of the incarcerated artist's self-reflection on childhood trauma, addiction, and rehabilitation amid exclusion. At the same time, space is created for the community to consider what successful reentry and community restoration might look like and how "the light" can seep in to help heal what has been broken. In West Virginia, 1 out of 10 children have an incarcerated parent. The WV Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation held 41,575 inmates and released 38,767 back into our community in 2021. The full exhibit will be on tour in West Virginia, engaging communities in conversations and education regarding reentry, recovery, and community resilience. "Inside---> OUT” is an invitation to enter into the world and culture of those who are so often excluded, not only from physical structures or spaces but society as well. The “Inside--->OUT” installation was developed to create community conversations and collaborative creativity around issues of poverty, homelessness, mental health, incarceration, and reentry. *** The T.W. Wood Gallery: A Museum of American Art was founded in 1895 by Montpelier native and 19th-century master artist Thomas Waterman Wood.

Inside Out: IncARceraTion at T.W.Wood Gallery
12:00pm-4:00pm Inside Out: IncARceraTion at T.W.Wood GalleryNuquist and Contemporary Hall Galleries: Inside Out: IncARceraTion Inside--->OUT : incARceraTion” is a traveling collaborative project between incarcerated Artists in the WV Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and Goddard College student Reentry Advocates exploring the intersections between trauma, addiction, incarceration, and reentry. Leonard Cohen once said, “There is a crack in everything. That is how the light gets in.” Inside--->OUT:IncARceraTion explores the humanity of incarcerated individuals and meaningfully considers the reality of their journeys to become whole and healthy individuals, using their abilities to put good into the world, even while being excluded from it. The work considers how trauma, addiction, and incarceration can all be forms of imprisonment. The works hold in tension the realities of the incarcerated artist's self-reflection on childhood trauma, addiction, and rehabilitation amid exclusion. At the same time, space is created for the community to consider what successful reentry and community restoration might look like and how "the light" can seep in to help heal what has been broken. In West Virginia, 1 out of 10 children have an incarcerated parent. The WV Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation held 41,575 inmates and released 38,767 back into our community in 2021. The full exhibit will be on tour in West Virginia, engaging communities in conversations and education regarding reentry, recovery, and community resilience. "Inside---> OUT” is an invitation to enter into the world and culture of those who are so often excluded, not only from physical structures or spaces but society as well. The “Inside--->OUT” installation was developed to create community conversations and collaborative creativity around issues of poverty, homelessness, mental health, incarceration, and reentry. *** The T.W. Wood Gallery: A Museum of American Art was founded in 1895 by Montpelier native and 19th-century master artist Thomas Waterman Wood. One of the oldest art museums in Vermont, its mission is to preserve our local artistic heritage and to bring the best of today’s art to Central Vermont. The T.W. Wood Gallery’s permanent collection consists of works by T.W. Wood and his contemporaries and artworks from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era. The Gallery also has two contemporary exhibit spaces, The Nuquist Gallery and the Contemporary Hall, that exhibit the work of regional artists.

Leonard Cohen once said, “There is a crack in everything. That is how the light gets in.” Inside--->OUT:IncARceraTion explores the humanity of incarcerated individuals and meaningfully considers the reality of their journeys to become whole and healthy individuals, using their abilities to put good into the world, even while being excluded from it. The work considers how trauma, addiction, and incarceration can all be forms of imprisonment. The works hold in tension the realities of the incarcerated artist's self-reflection on childhood trauma, addiction, and rehabilitation amid exclusion. At the same time, space is created for the community to consider what successful reentry and community restoration might look like and how "the light" can seep in to help heal what has been broken.
