Hundreds of
items including hand-crafted pottery, wood items and paintings will be offered at the 19th Annual
Inside Out Art Show & Sale today and
Saturday at the Mule
Creek State Prison cafeteria. All
items are made by the Mule Creek Arts in Corrections and Mill & Cabinet
programs, and proceeds benefit Operation Care. The show is open from 8 a.m. to
4 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Visitors are asked to avoid
wearing blue jeans. The art sale is so popular that show organizers have
arranged a sort of lottery for the opening on Friday from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Visitors at the door when the show opens will
receive a ticket, which, after being drawn at random by Warden Rich Subia,
enables them to enter the show one-by-one and select one item for purchase.
After 8:30 or so, the doors will open to all and there will be no limit on
purchases. Inmates participate in the program with the knowledge their artwork
will be sold with the proceeds
going to Operation Care which helps victims of domestic violence and sexual
assault. For more information, contact Lynn Shield at Operation Care --
223-2897.
