I served as an intern with ArtsKC in 2011. Harlan and his team allowed me to work on projects and learn skills that I still use now that I am in my own leadership position. I appreciate the time each of the staff members gave me as I learned about advocacy and grant administration. It was a highly valuable experience, one that I would recommend to everyone.
