A look back at 2009: the inaugural Inspired Art Project

the poetry and the artists of the Inspired Art Project 2009

  • Read the poetry from the 2009 Inspired Art Project Anthology.  Each poem was written by a 3rd-8th grade student in one of America SCORES Chicago’s partner public schools.
  • Browse the artwork of the 2009 Inspired Art Project show.  Click on the thumbnail to see full size artwork and its inspiring poem.
  • The majority of works were sold at the October 1, 2009 Inspired Art Project Show.  However, several unsold pieces are still available.  If you see a piece that might interest you, contact Brian Bullington at bbullington@americascores.org.  We can tell you more about the piece, and the suggested price.  All proceeds from sales both at the Show and subsequently go to support America SCORES unique after school programming.
