Juried by Belle Pendleton, professor of art history at Christopher Newport University, the main downstairs gallery is devoted to the art of recovery, with art by prisoners located in the smaller gallery. The McShin Foundation, a partner and member of SAARA, provides art supplies to prisoners. Sales of inmate artwork will be donated to help fund their art.
