5th Annual Deatrich Wise Block Party: Facepainting by ZNT Arts

Join ZNT Arts for the special 5th Annual Block Party by Deatrich Wise @ Josh Kraft Mattapan Teen Center

Excerpt from Patriots.com “Since the first time he stepped foot into the Josh Kraft Mattapan Teen Center, New England Patriots defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. felt a deep connection to the kids and that community.

The visit gave him a deeper perspective of Mattapan, beyond negative headlines and reputations, and he knew he wanted to highlight what he saw to a greater audience.

From there, the Deatrich Wise Annual Block Party was born, getting bigger and better every year. 

"I was so fascinated with the kids down there in Mattapan at the Boys & Girls Club, and I realized, nobody goes there to show love to those kids or that community," Wise Jr. said.

"The more time I spent there, I wanted to do just that. I know there is a lot of bad news coming out of Mattapan, but I wanted the Block Party to be a light and a way to spread positive messages and positive news about what's happening in that community, and at the same time, give those kids a platform to express themselves because they're phenomenal.""
