Biography/History
Arts-in-Corrections was a unit within the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation that contracted with independent
community service organizations and professional artists to provide arts programs within correctional institutions. The program
began as the pilot Prison Arts Project at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, CA in 1977 with funding provided by
the California Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, the San Francisco Foundation, and the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration. The success of this initial program led to the Legislature appropriating $400,000 to augment the 1981 Department
of Corrections budget, establishing the Arts in Corrections unit within the department's Office of Community Resources Development.
The Arts in Corrections budget initially funded a program manager, six full-time civil service artist facilitators, and contracts
with professional artists as well as community arts organizations, and monies for supplies, equipment, and facilities. Over
the next three decades following the program inception, the William James Association and Artsreach (UCLA Extension) partnered
with Arts in Corrections to manage the hiring, artist residency design and training, as well as the implementation and evaluation
of the arts programs. Professional artists provided instruction in painting, drawing, sculpture, murals, photography, poetry,
creative writing, theater, and music. The William James Association and Artsreach also sponsored state-wide competitions and
exhibitions outside of the walls of the institutions.
By the 1990s, Arts in Corrections had fully operational studios and placed on-site arts professionals as staff in every state
correctional and rehabilitation institution in California, becoming the largest institutionally-based arts program in the
United States. Due to the state's budget crisis, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation terminated artist facilitator
positions at each of the institutions, concurrently eliminating the Arts in Corrections program in January 2010.
Scope and Content
The Arts in Corrections Records consists of administrative, financial, and instructional records; documentation of works of
art; publications; news clippings; research materials; and institutional arts-related resources collected by Arts in Corrections,
its contractual partners, Artsreach and the William James Association, and individual artist facilitators. The collection
also contains the general administrative records of Artsreach and records of its collaborations with other constituents such
as the California Youth Authority, the Exceptional Children's Foundation, and 4-H Youth Development Organization, among others.
