Rehabilitation Through the Arts

Launched at Sing Sing in 1996, RTA is a world leader in arts-in-prison programming, teaching communication, collaboration, problem-solving and other critical life skills through a unique mix of art forms. Our reentry program, Reimagining Myself®, RTA prepares incarcerated people approaching release for the social and emotional challenges they will likely face when transitioning back to their communities. Less than 3% of RTA members return to prison, compared to the national recidivism rate of 60%.
