Tom Manning’s politically inspired artwork returned to Portland, Maine this February in “Art from Inside: Paintings by Political Prisoner Tom Manning”. This exhibit includes works featured in Manning’s previous show, Can’t Jail the Spirit, as well as a number of additional pieces which have never before been publicly displayed.

The Portland Victory Gardens Project and Foglight Collective are holding a silent auction for Art from Inside to benefit four groups: the Jericho Movement (National), Foglight Collective (Portland, ME), Blackbird Legal Collective (Portland, ME), and Kellogg St. Girls Medicinal Herb Class (Portland, ME). Some paintings sales also benefit the Rosenberg Fund for Children.
