This sequence of photos shows artists at Pelican Bay State Prison holding a mural design they created in a collaborative workshop. The mural, celebrating the campus Project Rebound team, will be painted on campus at California Poly Humboldt University. Next are photos of students on campus painting the design onto mural panels at the university.

The project is part of the Prison Arts Collective program at Pelican Bay State Prison, with support from CDCR and the California Arts Council. This collaborative community-based workshop is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.
