About RTA

Launched at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in 1996, RTA helps people in prison develop critical life skills through the arts, modeling an approach to the justice system based on human dignity rather than punishment. Less than 3% of RTA participants return to prison, compared to the national recidivism rate of 60%. All proceeds from RTA’s gala will directly support our prison arts program.
