This exhibition showcases the artistic talents of the men at HMP Channings Wood with work created as part of the Open Door Project.

The Open Door Project, a prisoner led project coordinated through the Library and Art Centre, has provided arts and creative experiences to the men and has been a unique opportunity for
them to explore and develop their creative potential, connect with their community and gain valuable insight into opportunities for work within the creative industries upon release.

The Library and Arts Centre at HMP Channings Wood has been developed into a safe and supportive space where the men can access information, advice and a wealth of arts and
creative opportunities. This freedom of expression supports mental health and wellbeing and offers a pathway to education and employment.

The Open Door Project has been supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
