What is Stigma Creative?

Stigma Creative was born from a powerful vision to highlight the often unseen talents of incarcerated artists, writers, and creators. Sparked by our founder's firsthand experiences with the underappreciation and exploitation of these creative individuals, we've built a platform that celebrates their remarkable abilities and offers them the recognition they truly deserve.

Our mission is to showcase this underrepresented group, affirming that creativity and talent know no bounds. We feature a diverse array of stunning paintings, intricate crafts, and thoughtful writings, each offering a unique perspective on life behind bars.

We're excited to expand our outreach with an upcoming podcast that will provide a new platform for our talented contributors to discuss their experiences within the vast system of incarceration. This initiative aims to amplify their voices and bring their stories to a broader audience. Our blog continues to engage audiences with deeper storytelling and discussions about the challenges and triumphs faced by our contributors.

For those interested in supporting our mission by purchasing artwork, you can find a curated selection of our pieces on Displate, Tee Public, Society6, and Redbubble in collaboration with Shroom Squirrel Originals. If the piece you are interested isn’t featured, or if you’re interested in acquiring physical pieces, please contact us.

Stigma Creative is more than just a group; it's a movement dedicated to breaking down barriers and fostering connections that enrich both our artists and the community at large. If you want to join or support our vibrant community, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're eager to welcome new members and collaborators who are passionate about making a difference.

Thank you for your support.
