The National Gallery is to display artworks created by young men detained in Feltham Young Offenders Institution. The 48 works in the show are inspired by the Gallery’s collection and include paintings, prints, sculptures, drawings and collages. They were produced during the second successful year of the National Gallery Outreach programme Inside Art, which is undertaken by groups of 15 to 21 year-old men at Feltham.

Inside Art – Creative Responses to the Collection by Young Offenders
During 2010, 30 young men completed an Inside Art project. Those who attended the workshops had either been sentenced or were on remand and awaiting trial, and were therefore often in situations of stress and uncertainty. Feedback showed that engaging with art enabled participants express themselves in different ways, and furthermore helped them gain confidence and develop communication skills http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/about-us/press-and-media/inside-art-2011http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/about-us/press-and-media/inside-art-2011
