This work voices the untold stories of those sent to the New York Training School for Girls (NYSTSG) throughout the 20th century. Located nearby in Hudson, New York, the institution was established in 1904 as the only state-run re-educational facility to provide training for “delinquent” or “incorrigible” girls between the ages of 12 and 18, including jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald; it closed in 1975.

Artists include Alison Cornyn, Heather Greer, Amanda Krische, Rita Peress, Beth Thielen, and Diana Weymar.

This special exhibition is a part of the Upstate Art Weekend and features large-scale archival photographic portraits, artist books, embroidery, videos, several interactive elements, and participant contributions.
