Some of the best work from the program's 25 years was displayed and available for sale this month at the Downtown Center of California Stale Polytechnic University, Pomona. Almost half of the work sold, with 70 percent of the proceeds going toward art supplies for the program. Escapism is a central theme to much of the work. In one painting, a medieval castle, banners rippling in the wind, sits perched alongside the ocean in a pastoral scene. Many paintings are of exotic landscapes, brilliant with colors uncommon to the greys and browns of the prison environment. Several times a year, the inmates return something to the community through service projects. In the past, they crafted a memorial for police officers, donated work to local charities and created public art. They've collaborated with schoolchildren on several projects, including wooden whirligigs at a public transportation station and tile murals for parks, schools and libraries in local communities. On Tuesday, Joe Sotomayor passed his brush over a large canvas mural to be used by the Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of Southern California for a volunteer awards event. "It makes me feel good giving something to them," Sotomayor said. Like many of the participants, Sotomayor said creating art had a calming effect, and those involved "won't be out there stabbing each other." "When they don't have anything to do, they get hostile," he said. So being incarcerated provides a chance for inmates to cultivate their creativity. "They don't have the lime, on the street," said John Moore, an inmate clerk who assists Skelly. "We want to pull out their creative side." And for those who come in already possessing talent, it's more than an outlet. For Aziel, practicing his horn an hour each day and more on weekends keeps his lips trained for the day he gels out. "This horn is 100 years old," he said. "But it still plays well." KUED will air 'The Aging Game' in Sept.
