Creative Placemaking Intern

“The Harrison Center provided many opportunities to grow as an artist and gave insight in how collaboration between nonprofit agencies work with the local community and government. In addition to connecting me to many great people, I learned how to better work in collaboration with others on projects and share those creations. The environment was encouraging even, to interns, and pushed us to be bold in asking questions, trying new things and pursuing people around us. ”

“I loved getting paid to make block prints over the summer. The Harrison Center actively cares about community and is spearheaded by a lot of powerful and inspiring ladies. Overall an incredible experience and one of the best summers I've had in a long time.”
