MORE ABOUT US: Since the formation of the ubiquitous INSPIRE Collective (in Jerusalem, 2003), here in the Middle East, we have exhibited over 700 independent artists from around the world. We presently support and promote local & global public art in a variety of ways, including free public DIY workshops, guerrilla theater, street art and graffiti technique sessions, social improv, art activist exhibitions, public campaigns & initiatives that focus on creative collaborative efforts of the growing middle eastern art & other globally creative humanitarian activist communities: www.inspirecollective.blogspot.com

"I'm INSPIRED! ITW is the inspiration for the already inspired and is a leader for leaders. When the dark days of nigh are all around me, my city seemingly crumbling into further despair, there is a small group of people across the world that I can turn to for inspiration. Of them, ITW is a beacon by which I can draw my plans for a better tomorrow. Learn, Listen, and then DO!"

"Inspire is my dear dreamer robot.
And I just wanna say to him: Ghandi is already on brazilian streets.
The coolest thing is that last night some neo-nazi group put some posters on the neighborhood and today I've covered them all with Ghandi. If u can't talk to me in one week, make a pray cause I'm dead. Kidding. Hahahaha.
Just to say that, cause I'm happy x)"19th November, 2007
