Inspired Art is a collaboration of Cleveland artists and young Cleveland poets. Put on by the local nonprofit America SCORES Cleveland, the event asks local artists to create and donate original works, drawing their inspiration from poems written by Cleveland youth enrolled in SCORES after-school programming. Through this cycle of inspiration and influence, students will witness their creativity brought to life, artists will connect with their community and SCORES’ supporters will see the profound impact these children’s words can have on others.
We are looking for artists of all mediums to participate in this cycle of inspiration. Artists are asked to choose one poem from the Student Poetry Collection available on the Inspired Art Project website and then create and donate an original work (or submit a previously completed piece) inspired by this poem.
The artwork will be displayed alongside the original poem and sold at a benefit silent auction on June 22, 2013 at at smARTspace at 78th, 1305 W. 80th Street, Suite 1 on Cleveland’s west side. Proceeds will benefit SCORES’ work in providing creative programming to Cleveland youth.
