The Inmate Art Program here at Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail offers our offenders an opportunity to express their creative talents in a variety of ways. Local artists Rose Hill, LeVonne Yountz, Lindsay Freedman, Esther Lozano, and George Andrew volunteer as instructors teaching oil painting, abstract, and acrylic to approximately 100 students per year.
At Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, we encourage and provide the opportunity for our offenders to utilize and identify their many talents, gifts and skills that they have in a way that promote productive citizenship and community service.
This year we are donating half of all proceeds to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville. The remaining proceeds will be used to purchase supplies for the classes and programs.
For information about our inmate programs contact Phyllis Back, Director of Programs, Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, (434) 977-6981 ext. 288, backp@acrj.org or www.beyond-bars.com.
