Artist To Speak About Benefits Of Prisoners Engaging With Art

Phyllis Kornfeld, the author of Cellblock Visions: Prison Art in America, will be giving a presentation next week in Stockbridge covering her 32 years of experience teaching art to incarcerated people. Unsatisfied with her work as an elementary, middle, high school and college instructor, Kornfeld began working in prisons in Oklahoma in 1983. She talked about her experiences with WAMC’s Berkshire Bureau Chief Jim Levulis.

The Oct. 8th event begins at 7 at the Berkshire Waldorf High School. Click here for more information.

Jim is WAMC’s Assistant News Director and hosts WAMC's flagship news programs: Midday Magazine, Northeast Report and Northeast Report Late Edition. Email: jlevulis@wamc.org
