Barbara George Art & Writing Project

An annual art and poetry contest was created in 2003 to inspire children and youth to communicate their experiences with the California Court System. The contest, sponsored by, the Judicial and Court Operations Services Division, Center for Families, Children & the Courts (CFCC) was later named in honor of Barbara George, in recognition of her longstanding support of the project. The Barbara George Art and Poetry Contest generated a library of images that serve as lasting reminders of the courts’ commitment to children and youth.

The Barbara George Art and Poetry Contest has generated a library of images and text that serve as lasting reminders of the courts’ commitment to children and youth. We hope that more children and youth will add their artistic expressions.
