At Kindred Noir, we champion early creative access. Creativity is an essential part of a child&#39;s education, confidence, and future. Through our Third Annual Back-to-School Art Supply Drive, we are investing in underserved students by ensuring classrooms have the materials needed to inspire imagination, self-expression, and learning. This year, we are expanding our impact to four Chicago Public Schools, reaching students across four distinct neighborhoods and increasing access to quality art supplies where they are needed most. Schools Supported:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Nash Elementary (Austin)</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Fort Dearborn Elementary (Brainerd Park)</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Jane A.
