A collaboration between Joyful Art Center, California Medical Facility, and the Solano Youth Achievement Center

Squares of Connection is a collaborative art project that brings together incarcerated individuals at California State Prison Solano, students at Joyful Art Center and participants of Solano Youth Achievement Center through the creation of individual “squares.” Each participant designed a square panel based around the shared theme of Community. All the squares are assembled into large quilt-like banners, creating a powerful symbol of unity and collective creativity. These quilts serve as a reminder of the bonds that can be formed across physical and social divides.
