Reentry Simulation: Step into the Reality of Reentry

Creative Collective: Art, Writing, and Healing

Check out this colorful chalk art created by our members at a recent Creative Collective! We love seeing the creativity, self-expression, and connection that come to life through art.

Creative Collective is a space exclusively for Inside Out Reentry Community members to explore creativity, build skills, and connect with others through art and writing.

On the first and third Wednesday of each month from 5:30–7:00 p.m., members gather at the Resource Center for writing and creative arts activities. The group provides an opportunity to expand writing skills, experiment with different styles, express yourself creatively, and experience the healing benefits of art and writing.

Whether you’re an experienced writer or simply interested in trying something new, Creative Collective is a welcoming space to create, connect, and express yourself!
