In Memoriam

 

Various artists and UD University Gallery. Blue Sky Project card submissions, circa September 2002

Coordinated by UD's University Gallery (now UD Museums), the Blue Sky Project distributed cards printed with a prompt, "SEPTEMBER 11 2001 | what struck me about that day was the sky... the brightest blue in months | SEPTEMBER 11 2002 | what are you thinking today? | write, draw, glue, tape, staple something | anything to the front of this card that sums up what are you thinking today? return through campus mail to the university gallery."

The galleries received approximately 300 postcards from members of the University of Delaware and Newark communities.
