'Release' is an exhibition of artwork from prisons across Scotland. The works have been entered for the Koestler Awards - a charitable scheme which has been rewarding artistic achievement in the penal and secure sectors for over 50 years. All will be revealed with artist, playwright and former inmate Eve McDougall and awards judge, Robin Baillie of the National Galleries of Scotland.
