INTERN GRADS

The 2024 Internship focused on poetry and performance. Interns met once a week for 8 weeks beginning February 26, 2024. The interns organized a wonderful public performance and gallery exhibition for a packed house at Snowbird Coffee Company's first community event.

Interns had the chance to work closely with professional performing artists Lane Shuler and Jonathon “Courageous” Clark, known collectively as INK.

The pair travel worldwide delivering content to universities and arts organizations.

We would like to thank the TN Arts Commission, the Appalachian Community Fund, and The East TN Foundation for their generous program support.
