Art at HMP Grendon 2017

Last week saw the third annual exhibition of the prisoners’ artwork held at HMP Grendon. Organised by the inmates themselves under the supervision of Edmund Clark the exhibition was visited by over 60 invited artists, curators, writers and other interested guests, as well as many of the staff. The event, held at the conference centre of the prison, is an important opportunity for the inmates to meet the visitors and discuss their art and their activities at HMP Grendon. One of the guests commented: “I’m grateful for the opportunity to become a small part of this excellent approach to helping the men in Grendon. It’s added another dimension to my life.” Another had written: “This exhibition and day have felt like an immense privilege. I hope the programme to support the artists here can continue for many, many years.”
