Exhibition Swap
In May 2024, students from two Salt Lake City area youth detention centers participated in an exhibition swap. Students from Farmington Bay Youth Center created paintings that were exhibited at Salt Lake Valley Youth Center, while students at Salt Lake Valley Youth Center created drawings that were exhibited at Farmington Bay.
The two groups presented and discussed their artwork over Zoom, offering praise, insight, and supportive artistic commentary.
Arts + Justice Lab staff mentored a previously incarcerated student (and paid him an honorarium) to design the poster for this event.
