Today (Sunday, Jan 5) is the last day to visit “The Pencil Is a Key: Drawings by Incarcerated Artists.” The museum will be open late until 8pm! . Featuring over 140 drawings produced over a roughly two-hundred-year period, the exhibition presents powerful evidence of the persistence of human creativity in the most inhumane of circumstances. The 73 artists on view demonstrate the ways in which drawing can serve as a vehicle for imagining freedom, allowing the mind to escape intolerable conditions through the act of creative expression. .
