Calendar 2006

Once again, we are in the process of producing another prison art calendar. In the next week, it will go to the printers and the plan is that you will have the 2006 Prison Art Calendar at your prisons in early December.

This year we are using artwork from Irish prisons only and we have chosen one piece of artwork from each prison. We have used the work already submitted to us for “The Time to Stand and Stare” Exhibitions. We have also included on each page a selection of poetry written by prisoners from Wheatfield Prison.
