FMC Devens has very talented artists who use their abilities to bring a sliver of joy to other inmates and families, while showcasing their accomplishments. Several pieces in this exhibit were created by the inmates who took the Introduction to Drawing course this last year.

Some things we are unable to help with:

  • We do not provide medical, legal or business advice or opinions.
