Mission The William James Association promotes work service in the arts environment education and community development. Our major concern has been transformative arts experiences in nontraditional settings working with people experiencing incarceration highrisk youth and returning residents. Prison Arts Project Community Impact The practice of making art cultivates transformation and improves lives. Creative engagement helps Returning Residents to rejoin our communities with a greater sense of selfworth confidence and resilience that supports them in rewriting the ending to their story.
