She Told Me Save the Flower is an exhibit of words and art visioned by Corey Devon Arthur, an artist and writer currently incarcerated in New York State. Three of his art collections — titled Blood In My Eye, Save the Flower and Delicates — were displayed at My Gallery NYC, in Brooklyn, New York, during March of 2023. All of the work chronicles Corey’s feminist journey inside prison. 

The opening reception featured the screening of a short film co-produced by Corey, a poetry reading of Corey’s work as well as the work of incarcerated poet April Harris, and a call-in from Corey from prison. Corey, and all the currently- and formerly-incarcerated members of the Save the Flower team, were compensated. Proceeds from the artwork also went to Motherhood Beyond Bars and A Little Piece of Light.
