Richard Miles was unjustly incarcerated for 15 years for a crime he didn't commit. Upon his release, he established Miles of Freedom to “create a bridge of transition for individuals, families, and communities impacted by incarceration and to facilitate growth and acceptance.”

Ignite/Arts Dallas serves as a nexus of art and engagement for students, artists, and the community. We are proud to support October's Arts of Oppression exhibit. Visit the Pollock Gallery to see these and other wonderful works from currently and formerly incarcerated artists.

The art of people who have experienced or are experiencing incarceration shows us a heart of resilience, and the will to thrive in spite of hardship. Join us at Pollock Gallery to see and bid on this art.

Please note: masks are required.

"We should treat required arts and humanities courses not as some vague attempt to “broaden minds” but rather as a necessary discussion of morals, values, ethics and responsibility." -Richard Lachman
