HMP Channings Wood Launches Prisoner-Led Art Exhibition with The Open Door Project

Open Door Project

The Open Door Project is a prisoner-led project coordinated through the Library and Arts Centre, this has provided arts and creative experiences to the men and has been a unique opportunity for them to explore and develop their creative potential, connect with their community and gain valuable insight into opportunities for work within the creative industries upon release. 

The Library and Arts Centre at HMP Channings Wood has been developed into a safe and supportive space, where the men can access information, advice and a wealth of arts and creative opportunities. This freedom of expression supports mental health and wellbeing and offers a pathway to education and potential employment.   

The Open Door Project has been supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. 

The exhibition has arrived at our Loxton Campus and will be on display until 26th November. Staff and Students are welcome to come along and take a look at the artistic talents of the men of HMP Channings Wood!
