The Arts Alliance is made up of arts organisations that work in the criminal justice sector, delivering arts programmes in prisons, probation settings, detention centres, and working with the Youth Offending Service. It is supported by the Ministry of Justice, Arts Council England and the Indigo Trust.

This event is aimed at those working in the Midlands. The aim is to promote the use of the arts in reducing re-offending, and to explore the role that the arts can play in the rehabilitation process. It will be a mixture of interactive workshops, presentations and discussions.

Workshops will be delivered by some of the finest exponents of arts based practice in criminal justice settings, including Geese Theatre Company, Rideout and representatives from the Writers in Prison Network. The event is free and lunch will be provided.
