In the aftermath of September 11, many students turned to their
notebooks and their canvases to express their feelings. The following
exhibition is a collection of artwork produced in the months after
the terrorist attacks. Most of the work was created by students
who go to school in Manhattan. To view

& Writers, and published as a book called ARTifacts. The Alliance
is a national network of arts, education, and community leaders
who foster creative expression and artistic achievement in junior
and senior high school students. The Alliance was established
in 1994 as a non-profit organization to expand the network of
support for aspiring young American artists and writers through
the distinguished Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, which the Alliance
administers. For more information log onto the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards Web site.
