were among the art world insiders who gathered for cocktails, a performance by actor and playwright Liza Jessie Peterson and a panel exploring the mission of the nonprofit Art for Justice, which works to create work opportunities for people transitioning from prison.
Catherine Gund — a filmmaker and activist whose mother, philanthropist and art collector Agnes Gund, founded Art for Justice in 2017 — introduced the discussion with a brief history of the organization and an affirmation of its mission: “to lift the unmatched power of art and advocacy in ending mass incarceration.” Speaking with her on the panel were artist, poet and legal scholar Dwayne Betts and advocate Tyra Patterson.
