Renovation of Sing Sing Prison’s former Powerhouse for multi-purpose program and exhibition space. The renovated space would be the venue for a variety of humanities activities including lectures, films, performances, seminars, temporary displays, meetings, and conferences.

The Sing Sing Prison Museum (SSPM) in Ossining, NY requests a grant from the NEH Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant program to renovate a section of Sing Sing Prison’s former Powerhouse for multi-purpose program space. The renovated space will be the venue for a variety of humanities activities including lectures, films, performances, seminars, temporary displays, meetings and conferences. The renovated space is a critical next step in fulfilling the SSPM’s mission to preserve and present the history of Sing Sing Prison and to connect this history to a critical understanding of America’s criminal justice system.
