Check Out Our ARTS! A Study in Contrast (DIPTYCH). 🖼️
 
This powerful intern-created piece, titled “Light the Way,” explores the essential difference between isolation and collective strength.
 
The top panel (grayscale) captures solitude, while the bottom panel (full color) demonstrates that true leadership comes through example, supported by community and peers who light the path forward.
 
At @LAMPLongBeach, we empower our interns to be those leaders.
