Crowley Community Gallery
First Friday Reception: November 1, 2024 from 5:00 – 8:00 pm
Humanity Illuminated showcases the artwork of Moreau College students who are incarcerated at Westville Correctional Facility in Northern Indiana. Prison hides people from society. Once hidden, their humanity can easily be forgotten. And yet, their humanity persists. The artwork of this exhibit illuminates the humanity of the students of Moreau College. And it invites our community to see the dignity and wonder of every individual.
The art featured in this exhibit includes work from a watercolor course taught by Father Martin Lam Nguyen (Notre Dame Associate Professor of Art) inside Westville Correctional Facility through the Moreau College Initiative. A few contributing artists are alumni who have returned to society. The Moreau College Initiative is an academic collaboration between Holy Cross College and the University of Notre Dame, in partnership with the Indiana Department of Correction. MCI students earn undergraduate degrees from Holy Cross College while incarcerated.
Featured Artists: Ryan Campbell, Joshua Dauscher, Jason DeGroot, Timothy Dennison, Donald Earl, Michael Epperson, Steven Foernzler, Barry Gatlin, Kyle Gibson, Eric Graves, Christopher Hogan, Conor Jackson, Mitchel Jacob, Antwan Jones, Jarrell King, Christopher Macy, Christopher Mathis, Gary McCain, Willard Merkel, Stephen Pinkney, Clarence Sandifer, Jason Smith
