National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance
Our aim is to ensure the arts are used within the criminal justice system as a springboard for positive change.
We represent a network of over 900 individuals and organisations that deliver creative interventions to support people in prison, on probation and in the community, with impressive results.
We support this transformative work by providing a network and a voice for all the talented and creative people who are committed to making great art with people in the criminal justice system.
