Beyond Walls
Beyond Walls an Art Festival sponsored by Open Circle that provides an opportunity for prisoners and ex-offenders to share their creative abilities with the world beyond prison walls. Come join us in the Laudamus Auditorium, North Campus of the Canadian Mennonite University on June 20, at 5:00 pm for a light meal or at 6:00 PM for the performing art show. This will be followed by the opening ceremonies of the visual arts portion of our show at the Mennonite Heritage Gallery across the street at 600 Shaftesbury. The art will then be on display throughout the summer.
