West End Arts District and ArtReach invite you to experience creative works from the incarcerated population on death row at San Quentin State Prison in California. The Art of San Quentin exhibit explores the healing and redemptive properties of artmaking. Experiencing the work of these accomplished and resourceful artists helps to break down stereotypes, and initiate dialogue about mass incarceration and capital punishment.

The guided art walk will take visitors along Webster Street to witness visual art, live performance, and film. Reservations are strongly encouraged to participate in the 45-minute guided art walk.

*The event is free and open to the public, but note that the Fireside Lounge is only accessible for adults 21 years and older.
