I attended a Prison Arts Foundation presentation in the Crumlin Road Prison quite some time ago and I have to say that the quality of work on show was exceptional. The main picture is of me standing beside a painting that was done by Michael Stone. I recognised it from quite a distance – his distinctive style is on show with the painstaking application of layers he has been using on a lot of his recent work.
A recently set-up group consisting of ex-combatants and ex-prisoners are collating a collection of art memorabilia images with the possibility of composing a calendar for 2019.
If you have any images of paintings, handicrafts etc that you would be interested in displaying in the calendar please contact me at the usual channels or through this site.
