Art at America Scores
George writes:
I'm proud to be a part of this event benefiting America Scores, an national non-profit that provides teamwork-based after school programs for inner-city kids using soccer and poetry.


Their annual gala event "Inspired Art"http://inspiredartchicago.wordpress.com/ has local artists creating work based on poetry the children have written, with the finished pieces being auctioned to benefit their programs.


There's some very meaningful and strong messages in the words these kids have written and some great artists donating pieces to
hopefully do them justice (including me!)
