Summer Internship - Blue Sky Redbow

We're excited to introduce you to Blue, our Summer Events and Engagement Intern. Blue is a student at Grand Rapids Community College and plays a ton of instruments. In addition, Blue has been working on scheduling the B-Side Session with the American Hotel System, updating our inventory system, creating social media imagery and developing animations for our social media and YouTube channel. You may have met Blue if you attended Make Music Day Grand Rapids back in June. Blue also made the above flyer for Open Projector Night and will be on hand at both events next week as we wrap up the Summer Culture Corps internship.

The Culture Corps Internship Program is a partnership between Grand Rapids Community College and the University of Michigan. Come meet Blue and say thanks for supporting Michigan music!
