The Central District Forum for Arts and Ideas kicked off its season with a vibrant event at the historic Lincoln Hughes Performing Arts Institute on Sunday, July 14th. Attendees enjoyed a variety of engaging activities, resources, and performances.

The event provided valuable resources for the community, including public safety and health information. Attendees also had the opportunity to sign up for free headshots by Original Studios, a popular feature from last year's event.

The celebration featured delicious food catered by Falafel Salaam and Umami Kushi, along with refreshing beverages from Tea Moss Shop. DJ Hershe kept the energy high with lively music, and Yousef Severs led an engaging West African dance class.

The West African dance class will resume on July 22nd at 7:30 pm. For those interested in future CD Forum events, stay connected by following them on Instagram at @CDForum or subscribing to their newsletter at cityform.org.
