Arts Festival with Socrates Sculpture Park
The Fortune Society‘s Annual Arts Festival, celebrating community and healing through the arts, collaborated this year with the Socrates Sculpture Park New Agora series.
On June 25, Fortune Creative Arts hosted a day of workshops, performances, and readings. Founded in 1967, The Fortune Society’s vision is to foster a world where all who are incarcerated or formerly incarcerated will thrive as positive, contributing members of society. The festival was a powerful celebration of imagination and creativity’s healing and transformative powers.
