Careers in Art: Teen Info Night

In April of 2024, the Kemper Teen Arts Council invited KC area professionals to share a behind-the-scenes look into their art-related industries to help teens learn more about creative career paths.

Participants listened as each presenter briefly shared about their background and current career. Following introductions, speakers joined attendees for more in-depth conversations.
