Midtown's Words on Wheels

For seven years, the Maryland Transportation Authority has sponsored the "Words on Wheels" competition. In the event, students from several Baltimore area middle schools write poems which are then given to students from MICA. The MICA students create paintings inspired by the poems, with the winning poems and painting made into posters that are placed on MTA buses as they go through the city.

Several MICA students have blogged about the poems they received and posted pictures of the paintings inspired by Midtown's poets, and the winning posters, three featuring poems from Midtown students, can be found on the MTA website.
