Inspiration Box

The Inspiration Box is a literary magazine for adolescents. Art is an outlet for teens and it is strongly ignored at high schools through a lack of funding and awareness. Artistic teens are led to feel less important than athletes because they are not appreciated enough. Art should be encouraged, not degraded. The Inspiration Box provides the sort of encouragement that a large majority of creative teens need. Through the magazine they are able to display their work, admire other art, and learn of opportunities in their art form. They can become inspired!
