The show presented art exploring the issue of overcoming the challenges facing those released from prison who are seeking new beginnings in the larger community. The exhibit coincided with a conference—also focusing on life after incarceration— that was held at Community Church in October by the Community Service Society (CSS), a 175-year-old anti-poverty organization that aims to “raise the floor for all New Yorkers.” The exhibit also included the art of conference participants and other guest artists in addition to Gallery35 artists.
