InsideOut is marking its 30th anniversary with a citywide billboard campaign featuring poetry by Detroit youth.

The campaign, which launched during National Poetry Month, kicks off a year of events and programming celebrating the creative impact of InsideOut’s legacy in classrooms and communities across the city.

Thank you to the students of Citywide Poets, InsideOut’s Youth Advisory Board, Cesar Chavez Academy, Schulze Academy for Arts and Technology, Carstens Elementary Middle School, Hutchinson Elementary Middle School and Hope of Detroit Elementary in Detroit, and Salina Elementary and Salina Intermediate Schools in Dearborn for inspiring us every day with your poems and to our dedicated Writers-in-Residence who make everything we do possible. Huge thank you to Lafayette American for their incredible partnership in bringing this project to fruition!
