At Prison Art Experience, we celebrate the transformative power of art that can reshape lives and perspectives. Our mission is clear: to provide a platform for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated artists to showcase their work and earn equitable income while honoring their art and lived experiences.

Our founder, Roohallah Mobarez, has walked a unique path, personally experiencing the prison system's challenges. During his time behind bars, he rediscovered his love for the arts and witnessed firsthand its profound role in healing and self-expression. This revelation ignited the spark that gave birth to the Prison Art Experience, an organization dedicated to providing a creative haven for artists with lived experiences.

We are passionate about supporting our artists, advocating for change within the criminal justice system, and reshaping societal perspectives. We work closely with our artists, ensuring they receive fair compensation, with a 70/30 split on all original art pieces and on-demand prints. Our commitment to ethics and transparency shines through every step of the way. (70% returned to the artists)

Art is more than just brushstrokes on a canvas; it's a medium for understanding, redemption, and transformation. Join us in championing these talented artists and advocating for criminal justice reform. Together, we're creating a more compassionate and just society through the power of art.
