CIRKA’S (Collaborative Initiative to Revive Kankakee Arts) annual fundraiser April Grooves Day is back!!

•••••CIRKA is a 501c3 non profit aimed towards helping out local artists grow and flourish. We host many events including Teen Talent Takeover and The Kankakee Estival Festival. This year we also secured an office space to help us manage these events more fluently. Our next goal is to acquire a studio space to help provide some programming for the local talent as well. All funds raised go directly towards CIRKA and helping our community through the arts! •••••
