Upcoming Event
End Cash Bail A Poetry & Visual Art Exhibition
About the Exhibition
Join ACLU of Texas artist-in-residence KB Brookins as they celebrate the opening of a dynamic poetry and visual art exhibition all about carceral systems in Texas. End Cash Bail welcomes visitors to see firsthand the impact of Texas jails on incarcerated folks and their loved ones through breathtaking poetry, paintings, collages, cyanotypes, photography, and more. The exhibition is intentionally wide-spanning in point of view and art type, to show the extensive impact and responses to the Texas jail crisis.
Curated by KB Brookins, End Cash Bail will be displayed at the Lawndale Art Center’s Cecily E. Horton Gallery from January 14-17, 2026. The opening event will include free food, free resources from community partners, and breathtaking performances from Harris County-based artists.
