On March 15th 2021, we delivered our final remote learning #ARCKits to our students at Josiah Quincy Elementary School. This year, we were able to supply our 4 partner schools with art supplies to help our students engage with creativity while learning from home. Thank you Matt Wilder, Doug Meehan and the WCVB Channel 5 team for sharing our story!
ARCK Boston Working With BPS To Integrate Art Education Programs
“We want to build the next generation to be adaptable, collaborative, responsible, and kind,” explained Demeter. “If every educator adopts the tools to ignite creativity, cultivate joy, and co-design project-based learning with their students, every student will be engaged in learning.”
Let There Be Art
The Art Resource Collaborative for Kids (ARCK) held its 11th annual benefit gala on October 20 sponsored by WS Development. ARCK brings art to the Boston Public Schools.
Our own Sara Mraish Demeter was featured on the Boston Speaks Up Podcast with host Zach Servideo. In this episode, Sara dives into her story, inspiration for founding ARCK, the many lessons she’s learned across her wide range of experiences throughout her life, and so much more.

ARCK students are currently in the third Module of our Arts With Impact framework. This Module focuses on social justice by prompting students to think about what is important to their community and how they can use creativity to make a difference in the world.
Students at Gardner Pilot Academy participated in a project that provided support to Ukrainian refugees. A big thank you to our friends over at WCVB's News Center 5, who showed up to report on this project.
