I felt extremely proud of what we accomplished that summer and I loved the challenges we faced as a team. I learned that anything is possible with a community working together on something that they feel passionate about and believe in. It was exceptionally hard work everyday, but the gift of working with artists, support art students and seeing them realize their individual potential was priceless.
