Master of Fine Arts in
Contemporary Art Practices at
Portland State University

CRCI

In the Fall of 2016, the program began an Artist in Residence Program at the Columbia River Correctional Facility (CRCI). The program is dedicated to creating a space for artists to reflect on and expand their artistic practices through workshops, lectures, critiques, and collaborative projects. Participants have the opportunity to engage in collaborative, co-authored projects that range from small, one day activities to sprawling year long undertakings. Past and current projects include a weekly class on writing and publishing an autobiography, a board game based on the Department of Corrections rules and prisoners experiences while incarcerated, an investigative photography project between prisoners and international photographers, a collaborative film project, and a class that took the form of a comedy school.
