4th Annual Arts Festival

with Cherokee Street Reach and Friends

Since the summer of 2014, St. Louis, Missouri based Street Reach works with Cherokee neighborhood youth in co-creating practical, actionable, positive social change through art. 

Volunteers are local artist and the kids come from the surrounding neighborhoods led by their parents.

For the 4th annual celebration, activities included: Yoga class, Chess, Facepainting, Actual Painting with a design created by Basil Kincaid,  Bracelet making by Dacia “Inngergy” Polk, Tie-dying led by Eugenia Alexander and many more! 

The highlight of my time was the selection of free books given out to the kids. Some even grabbed some for their younger siblings who had to stay home. 

It was great to be able to volunteer my time and photography skills for such a uplifting event!
