SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.

The show will open with a four-song set by Nell & Jim\, featuring Jim Nunally on vocals\, guitar and banjo\, with Nell Robinson on vocals and miniflute; this amazing duo delivers tight harmonies and original genre-bending music that will get the evening off to a sizzling start.\nBack to California Bluegrass Reunion: Grammy Award-winning John Reischman is a foundational mandolinist\, composer\, bandleader and musical educator in bluegrass and North American roots and folk music.
