The 2018 gathering of LA County Arts Interns in Little Tokyo! Throughout the day interns will get glimpses into the culture of this historic area as well as take part in interactive workshops exploring what it means to be an intern and what might be in store for them (and for the arts in Los Angeles). LA County is the most populous county in the United States with more than 10 million residents. It boasts the largest concentration of people engaged in creative industries—in fact, the creative industries are its sixth largest employer!
