Elevating the creative voices of people confined to carceral institutions across the US.
MessageCollection: Sean Fox
"I have traveled 52 complete rotations around the sun in my lifetime, and my heart’s cry is to live a life of passion not perfection. I want my last breath in this life to be one of satisfaction for a life well lived, and poured out for a world that can be painful and desperate, and to inspire that in others. A lot of my artwork revolves around the theme of Romantic love, and the messy beauty that is life. I try to ignore a lot of the rules about art, and believe we each have to find the heart of life that speaks to us. So, break some rules, find your heart, and remember to be kind to yourself. A life well lived isn't found in perfection, but in the passion!
Because of my Actual Innocence, I am uniquely situated to perceive the hidden deficiencies of the Criminal Justice System. I have also had to fight the difficult battle to remain hopeful and effective in a seemingly impossible and painful situation. Some battles I have been victorious in, others I hold on by the skin of my teeth. But I hold on. It has now become my passion to help those on the inside to find themselves again and find the means to reenter society as a normal and productive citizen, and those on the outside to see the terrible conditions that have been inflicted on their fellow citizens and family members. If you have a project that you are working on I would love to be apart of it. You are the answer to someone's cry for help. Don't hide your eyes and look away. Be the change you want to see." - Sean Fox

JustArts Gallery (Tulsa, OK) is a not-for-profit, community-rooted project fiscally sponsored by The Third Space Foundation. We partner with systems-impacted artists across the country—most of them currently incarcerated—to host exhibitions and public programs that foster connection and challenge carceral narratives. Our space is a hub for collective learning, healing, and organizing at the intersection of the arts and justice. All proceeds from art sales go directly to the artists or their designated loved ones unless they choose otherwise.
JustArts offers strategic support to organizations, educators, and advocates working to build more just and inclusive arts ecosystems. With over 15 years of experience working with artists in prison, we collaborate with partners nationwide to uplift creative expression as a powerful act of resistance, identity, and possibility.
