ABOUT

The Formerly Incarcerated Renaissance Museum (The F.I.R.M.) is dedicated to illuminating the silenced narratives and empowering the voices of justice-impacted people, especially women. Our mission is to foster empathy, advocacy, and societal change through creativity, education, awareness, and community engagement.
We provide a safe and inclusive space for justice-impacted women to share their stories, express themselves through art, and connect with their community. Through our various programs and initiatives, we aim to break the stigma and create opportunities for these women to thrive. The F.I.R.M. is committed to creating a supportive environment where these women can rebuild their lives and inspire others with their resilience and creativity.
