alabama prison arts program - pass along to interesting people
an email from natalie chanin (runs an amazing fashion outfit out of florence, alabama) if you know of anyone interested in this please contact kyes stevens (went to high school with her), props to alabama.
My friend Kyes runs the Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project through Auburn University. They are in the process of making a 6-8 minute video clip on our programming to use with increasing awareness as well as for fundraising. They have run into some bumps and need some help to finish up the project. The majority of the footage has been completed but they definitely need someone to edit and do the music/sound. They have a very limited budget - $4000 for everything. . This is an amazing program which provides classes in poetry, art, southern literature and photography for inmates. They also work to develop reading libraries in 15 prisons in Alabama. The work that they are doing is changing lives. I have visited one of Kyes’ many projects and it is truly amazing what they have accomplished. There is a terrific book (Into Daylight) which is a compilation of poetry and drawings from inmates who have been through their program that is available, and the program is in the process of producing the next collection of students’ work: Fold. All of this to say, if anyone knows of someone who would be willing to help, please contact Kyes Stevens stevemk@auburn.eduOr email me and I can put you in touch. Here is their website: www.auburn.edu/cah/apaep
Sorry for the bulk mail but thanks for your help!
