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.
