Judge Witt bought this piece of art from one of ArtForce Iowa’s youth artists a few years ago. It’s been displayed in his courtroom ever since. We send our love to Jen, Abram and his family and friends

In honor of the Honorable Judge Colin Witt
The Honorable Judge Colin Witt was one of our greatest advocates and supporters. Even in his last few months, he was working diligently to connect us to curate the artwork for Polk County Justice Center. His last written words to us were: “I love ArtForce and want you all to be supported and thrive in your efforts work with our kids.”
“Colin believed that our commitment to justice, the character of our society, the rule of law, and fairness and equality is how we treat the poor, the lost, the broken, the accused and the incarcerated. He believed that each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done. Colin had the ability to hold power and tenderness in the same breath; always seeking to see the other and lead with love, understanding, mercy, and justice. He believed in the power of community and that together we are each other’s harvest. He will be remembered for his kindness, generous spirit and fairness.”
Rest in power, brother.
