Prodigal Arts Exhibition: Where Creativity Grows - Opening Night

Prodigal Arts Exhibition: Where Creativity Grows - Opening Night at The Island

An event held at The Island on Thursday 22nd October. The event starts at 19:00.


Prodigal Arts warmly invites you to join us for Where Creativity Grows, A Decade That Shows, a special Prodigal Arts exhibition marking ten years of creativity, artistic achievement, and transformation.

For the past decade, Prodigal Arts has worked with artists in prison, supported them on release, and more recently developed preventative creative programmes with community groups affected by or at risk of involvement in the criminal justice system. This exhibition celebrates that journey through a selection of work from the past ten years alongside new commissions inspired by the theme of Trees; reflecting on roots, resilience, growth, and the many branches that have emerged through our shared creative work.

We hope you can join us as we celebrate ten years of creativity, community, and impact, and look ahead to the next chapter.
