JustArts Gallery
Tulsa, OK
Elevating the creative voices of people confined to carceral institutions across the US.
MessageCollection: Drawing Parallels Exhibition, Fall/Winter 2025-26
Drawing Parallels, our first exhibition featuring collaborative works, brings together local artists and artists who are incarcerated. The artwork in the show was created in dialogue between pairs of artists — an exchange of ideas, perspectives, and shared humanity across physical and social barriers. By pairing “inside” and local artists, Drawing Parallels highlights the connections that emerge through art, revealing shared experiences, challenges, and hopes. This exhibition invites viewers to witness how creativity bridges divides and opens space for empathy, understanding, and individual and collective healing.
Please note that all artwork is being shared with the full consent of the artists. Please do not make use of any of the artwork you see here without reaching out to us or the artist directly.
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.
