Exhibitions at JustArts Gallery

JustArts Gallery’s group exhibitions, which launched in March 2025, bring together works by artists currently and previously incarcerated, each creating in their own unique style, voice, and perspective. While the artists’ approaches and experiences vary, their work reveals powerful threads of connection — shared struggles, perseverance, and the universal human drive to create.

Through these collections, we invite visitors to not only witness each artist’s humanity, but also to reflect on what it means to be seen, heard, and valued. What does it feel like to belong — to be acknowledged, named, and known? What is lost when belonging is denied? What might justice look like if it took these most basic of human needs into account, for all involved?

These exhibitions also challenge the boundaries of the art world itself — calling for a more expansive and inclusive cultural landscape. The artists whose work we are honored to share are not looking for charity; they are asking for access, recognition, and to be received as artists and visionaries in their own right. Their work doesn’t just deserve a place in the cultural conversation — it belongs at the center.
