Community Event: Circles of Support Back-to-School Block Party

School is almost in session!

On August 20th, Arts Ignites partnered with Circles of Support to host a Back-to-School Block Party at the Church of the Heavenly Rest in New York City. This community event celebrated the beginning of the school year with complimentary food, games and activities, and a school supplies giveaway where 156 backpacks were distributed to prepare students for the upcoming school year.
