Create Your Art with Cellblock 9 Artistry
Art from the underground where it still has soul.
Cellblock 9 Artistry is a place for people who live outside of big business and corporate greed. Art is still fresh here, and not tainted. And we are not going to judge what is great by what makes money. Art is creating something from nothing. We offer classes, and sell art, music, books, and unique items. And showcase talent as well as offer services
Who We Are
How We Got Here: Cellblock 9 started as an idea the owner had while doing time of opening a Tattoo shop staffed by only ex cons. That grew into something bigger when he realized many people were doing time in prisons they built in their souls. Here your souls are free to create without boundaries. There are no rules here
Cellblock 9 Artistry strives to hear down the walls that keep us locked into the mundane. Each of us yearns to create. This is the place where anyone can showcase their talent, skill or service.. We are dedicated to keeping the trades alive like stone masonry, and blacksmithing. We are an online consignment store as well as graphic designers and custom painters for motorcycles, hot rods, and signs. We also book services and offer classes.


What We Envision
Determined Artists. Who through Perseverance obtain GREATNESS
At Cellblock 9 Artistry, we understand the importance of support in an artist’s life. Our community serves as an educational branch and support system for all artists, From the grandma doing needlework that is unrivaled to the prisoner sitting in his cell writing his magnum opus and the kids in the garage making music that moves their soul and not caring if they get a record contract . Our mission is to give a platform to people who would not get one from the mainstream art world. People who have been imprisoned by the corporate system where money is king. We have a spot for all art and talent for fine art to the trades. We have classes to offer, and an online consignment store. A place where a loved one in prison can sell their art or a novel they wrote. You can have a custom paint job for motorcycle and even order a customer one off bike. Sky is the limit

What We Believe
Inspiration and Creativity
Artists need a space to dream, to create, to inspire and to be inspired. At Cellblock 9 Artistry, we understand this well, which is why we provide this space for our guests.

Our Work
Pencil Sketch
Pencil Sketch was created late last year in a weekly class. The artist took it home — but we think it belongs in a museum. The Pencil Sketch project was a huge accomplishment of one of our artists and we are so pleased that Sammy Jones created such a beautiful example. Want to find out more? Get in touch with us today.


Mixed Media Diorama
Mixed Media Diorama shows us that you don’t need to be a seasoned artist to create something amazing. We loved working on this Mixed Media Diorama project with Terry Smalls. This specific project gave us a chance to really shine bright, and impress our artists with all of our dedication. We did just that. Find out more about this process by contacting us today.
Still Life Painting
We love to collaborate at Cellblock 9 Artistry. This Still Life Painting was a project created by several of our students and instructors. We’re especially proud of our teamwork on the Still Life Painting project. Our artists and staff crafted a winning and creative approach to accomplishing all of their artistic goals.
