The Kelly will be hosting the “TROY-Tutwiler Gardening & Art Program” art exhibition this year!
Troy University created a partnership program with the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women in Wetumpka, Alabama in 2019. It’s an educational program for female incarerated participants to teach them about horticulture and nutrition through a 15-week series of Fundamentals of Gardening classes. As of 2021, the program expanded to include the visual arts, and arts classes are led by art and design lecturer Dr. Kelly Berwager, who also organized this art exhibition. Troy University’s goal is to make the women productive members of society that never return to prison.
Join us to learn more about this amazing program and see another side of Art!
“Before this program came to Tutwiler, I was in a dark hole for 13 years. This program pulled me out of my hole. It has given me hope in a place that does give me any.”
