Mentoring offenders and ex-offenders to find not only a new creativity, but a new life.

Prodigal Arts is a registered charity that provides opportunities for prisoners and ex-offenders to produce and sell artwork created in art mentoring sessions and their own time as part of their ongoing rehabilitation.

The aim of Prodigal Arts is to help people in prison and post-release 'unlock' their creative potential, 'setting free' a positive sense of individual achievement and self-worth which aims to contribute to reducing the likelihood of re-offending.

Bristol Old Vic by Leyhill artist Phil. This artwork was featured in our recent exhibition, ‘Bristol Diversity’ at the beautiful St Georges, Bristol.

Our Artists made work in response to Bristol and its cultural and historical diversity and landmarks.

Case Study

“Prodigal Arts gives prisoners a connection to the outside world, a private piece of self-worth. On release, it can serve as a reminder that you are valued and you still have an outlet for your creations.” Andrew

Sixty-one Christmas card bundle - pack of 6
£7.00

Our two designs by Andrew, commissioned by Sixty-one.

This artwork was commissioned by the charity Sixty-One as part of their Christmas Gift Project. Every year, with the support of local churches, Sixty-One provides bags of gifts and a hand-written Christmas card to over 1,400 serving prisoners in three local prisons.

Used as the Christmas card design, this colourful, hope-filled piece of art has brought festive cheer and comfort to many in prison.

Through the Christmas Gift Bag Project, Sixty-One is also able to make serving prisoners aware of the support that they can provide on their release through their mentoring programme, MentorMe.

In many ways this artwork carries Sixty-One's message of hope, that change is possible, that a welcome awaits and that a purpose-filled life can be lived on release.

Just Stop Oil?
Just Stop Oil?
from £40.00

A3 Canvas acrylic painting.

Artist - Andrew

"I had the idea of having thick black with another colour ‘fighting’ against its power – orange seemed to fit perfectly. The title has a question mark because the painting is about the powerful and the powerless – like the Just stop Oil movement. Powerless is growing and one day, it might even be equal to powerful. My painting is part of that journey."

A splash of snooker?
A splash of snooker?
from £40.00

A3 Canvas acrylic painting.

Artist - Andrew

"Splashes of colour are seen on a varied green background. Some colour trails can give a sense of movement (present or past) and colours in the bottom right corner might be the remains of “potted” colours. The question is, could it be a game of snooker? You may never know. "

Synchronised hope
Synchronised hope
from £40.00

A3 Canvas acrylic painting.

Artist - Andrew

"I painted this picture because HOPE is what we reach for when things go wrong. The circles of hope are floating together so their presence is felt, and hope will be stronger. The white dots are almost aligned (synchronised) and when they are Hope will be at its strongest."
