About the Program
First led by ASU freshmen students in 2017, the {Ink}arcerated: Creativity Within Confinement program brings art created by incarcerated artists from across Arizona to be displayed at an annual gallery in the community and sold for a charitable cause. All remaining art is displayed in our online gallery below and is available for purchase year-round.
From 2017 to 2023, {Ink}arcerated has raised over $23,000 for youth and family charities chosen by the artists, including Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona, Boy and Girls Club of Arizona, Pinal County Family Advocacy Center, and Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children.
Beginning in 2023, 100% of proceeds from art purchased at {Ink}arcerated gallery shows go towards the Center for Correctional Solutions Scholarship that supports the higher education of system-impacted individuals and their families. As of August 2025, we have raised $73,000 for this scholarship fund.
