Linkage Community fosters belonging, reduces isolation, and expands access to the arts and opportunities. Co-created programming supports social/emotional wellness, creative growth, and economic mobility. Linkage members share vetted resources for the holistic support of each member’s journey.

Born within the University of Michigan's Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) in the early 2000s, the Linkage Project began as a mentorship initiative for artists after incarceration. Since 2022, it has evolved into the Linkage Community—a statewide, member-led network grounded in care, creativity, and collective vision.

In 2025, Linkage officially became an independent organization, maintaining close partnerships with PCAP and the University of Michigan. Today, the community is recognized as the leading peer network for creatives who have experienced incarceration, supporting reentry and beyond.
