Let’s Get Free has used art as an organizing tool since our inception in 2013, with our first art show in 2017. Our work is rooted in movement building with our eyes on the horizon of true love, liberation and solidarity.

Featuring artists on both sides of the prison walls, our annual(ish) art show contains a contest for incarcerated artists, an auction that is a fundraiser for the organization, and events for community members.

This year’s theme was Defy the Design.

Defiance is a bold resistance to an opposing force of authority. We often hear that our systems are broken. In reality, our systems were designed to oppress, silence, and enact violence. In order to get free, we must actively defy the designs that work to keep us away from our liberation. Part of that defiance includes creating new designs of our own.
