Join us for our most recent exhibition: “Inside Out: Art by Whatcom County Inmates.”

This show features more than 30 original drawings and sculpture Whatcom County Jail inmates, in addition to accompanying personal statements. Inmates created artwork using materials readily available; many pieces are drawn in pencil or pen on the backs of intake forms, worksheets or bible passages.

Bellingham’s Alternative Library will offer books for purchase related to criminology and the U.S. incarceration system. Bellingham Books to Prisoners will be tabling during Downtown Art Walk

Friday May 4, offering information on how to send books or become a penpal to Whatcom County inmates. Many thanks to Whatcom County Jail Chief Wendy Jones and her staff, who made this show possible.

The 25% commission on all sales will be donated to Bellingham Books to Prisoners.
