"Nash's Art Featured at the Prison Art Gallery, Washington, D.C."

A new and unique gallery opened in Washington DC in 2007 featuring artwork that is very exhilarating and different. Found by Dennis Sobin and Carolyn Cosmos, the Prison Art Gallery is located at 1600 K Street NW, Suite 501, Washington, DC 20036. Over 1,000 artworks by imprisoned artists, all on display and for sale.

The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts each year on Labor Day weekend hosts the Page-To-Stage Festival, of which our From-Prison-to-the-Stage Show has been a part and features a wide variety of outstanding ex-prisoner performing artists.

"Bobby Nash is a mainstay of the Prison Art Gallery in Washington, D.C. We are proud to feature his work in our gallery and on our web site, www.prisonsfoundationl.org." Dennis Sobin, ex-prisoner and curator of Prison Art Gallery, Washington, D.C.
