We love seeing our former interns out in the field!

Humble brag: Today we met David Martinez, part of our LA County Arts Interns program last summer at the amazing Free Arts. Free Arts hired him, and now he's here in our offices for a workshop -- part of the LA arts ecosystem. This is it, this is how it's all supposed to work.
