WOW!! Are these this years? Or have you had them awhile? Do you go every year? Do you have each years? This is the first time I remember ever seeing them, and they are perfect for a blog. And these kids designed each one and everything? I LOVE the Hats and Bones. And what we all have in common is being uncommon. These are WAY cool!
Words of wisdom from these young artists, Sandra.
Those are just fabulous! I love the bones one especially...that says it all.
I am so impressed, not only by the work but at their ages!
These kids have talent! WOW! And I love the quotes as well as the art. Now if only everyone thought the way these kids do!
This is you finest presentation.
Totally awesome! Loved this...thanks for sharing.
The young people who did this are wise as well as talented. This must be a great art show.
These are some very talented young people!
All of these billboards are great, those kids are very talented. The quotes fit perfectly with each piece of art. I especially like the fruit bowl. Our annual multicultural festival is in June and it is always fun to attend.
This is a very inspiring and heart-warming activity. Standing loud claps for those who made (and continously making) this happen.
These are so cool! My favorite is the "No flesh No Difference". So so true!
