Mission Statement
An Open Window is a project in which Treacy Ziegler, the director, goes into maximum-security prisons to teach art to incarcerated individuals. The project also donates professional artwork to prisons with the goal of involving non-artists into the process of art. It is the vision of this project for the prison community to have the fullest and most complex experience of art.
