Interns in the Arts

Few things in life are more satisfying than seeing a talented young person begin a career in the arts. But without the right professional connections and hands-on experience, their first and greatest challenge may be just getting a foot in the door. That’s why Creative Long Beach was formed. By empowering future business people, entrepreneurs and thinkers with the tools and resources to become successful leaders, we help them enter successful careers that benefit not just themselves but also the arts community as a whole. Arts Council for Long Beach a would like to invite you to join us for the first Creative Long Beach Interns in the Arts Luncheon on Friday, March 22, 2019 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at The Reef located at 880 S. Harbor Scenic Drive in Long Beach. Artist, educator, and KAOS Network founder and director, Ben Caldwell will give the keynote address at this first annual fundraiser. Learn how Professor Caldwell got his start as an artist and filmmaker and how this helped form his career. He will talk about his mentoring philosophies, including the great work some of his mentees have gone on to do. See excerpts of his digital, multi-media and performing arts that has empowered the youth of his local Leimert Park and beyond.
