Buttafly: Buttafly's Ode To Celeste.....

The arts must be at the heart of every child's learning experience if…they are to have a chance to dream and to create, to have beliefs, to carry a sense of cultural identity.
---James D Wolfensohn, former chairman of The Kennedy Center

This post is dedicated to the youth who inspire arts education. We kick off this dedication with a special Ode to Celeste! Celeste, an amazing, inspirational ,creative, fourteen year old whose talents are only measured by the Hello Kitty stickers that cover up the front of her composition notebook. After Generation X, came Generation Ipod and Generation Myspace. With this generation, Celeste was raised, nourished, and guided. Celeste, who has amassed a friends arsenal of eight-hundred plus on her myspace, a collection of favorite photographs on photobucket, and a blog that expounds on the daily triumphs and grunts of a teen who sports pink Nikes with fat white and black laces.

Goin home

by T. Semakula

I am goin home to no museums, cafes, bookstores, or creative outlets.

only to walls painted with tags by invisible spray paint artists

only to those who hip hop habitate

only to the sermons of the Baptist reverends, who whoop inside

swaying churches

only to the young folk who "get live" on the neighborhood sidewalks

their limbs, swaying against the tide
