This paper presents the qualitative findings based on the analysis of open-ended responses from surveys completed by 59 incarcerated women who participated in an arts-based education program. ArtSpring focuses on promoting self-growth and effective life skills through art-making for underserved and institutionalized women and girls. Findings confirm the literature supporting the impact of arts programs on those who are incarcerated. The women in this study reported growing as individuals and as part of the community in which they are incarcerated. Participants wrote of sharing a bond of mutual understanding, growing trust, and personal growth. (Contains 1 table and 1 footnote.)
