The exhibition features original artwork created by incarcerated individuals at the John A. Bell Correctional Facility who participated in a volunteer led art and literacy program.

THE WORDS is designed as a dynamic and inclusive program that brings together students, educators, and the broader creative community through shared expression. 

A new group exhibition challenging traditional ideas of Virgin Islands art will open Friday at Salt of the Earth Tattoo in Royal Dane Mall on St. Thomas.
