Prison Art

“We artists are indestructible; even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would be almighty in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell.” ....Pablo Picasso

The Prison Art website was created to provide an online outlet for the sale of artwork and crafts created by prisoners. Prisoner artists from throughout the U.S. can post their works here.

This website has been operating as a not-for-profit site since 1999. All labor and materials are donated (nobody is paid). Prisoners receive ninety percent of their asking price for all artwork sold. If you have time, you really should visit this website. Click Here. There are some unbelievably talented inmates in our prison systems. Some samples:
