☀️ End-of-Summer Intern Spotlight!
As summer winds down, we want to take a moment to give a huge THANK YOU and shoutout to our incredible summer interns!
They’ve brought so much energy, creativity, and hard work to our team over the last few months, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything they’ve accomplished.
🌟 Development & Communications
Faith is a Minnesota-born, Chicago-based journalist whose love for writing and the performing arts has grown into a passion for multimedia communications. A fourth-year studying Multimedia Journalism and Anthropology at Loyola University Chicago, Faith enjoys collaborating with local community members and platforming their unique stories.
Cherin Kim is a fiber artist based in Chicago, IL. Her textile portraits investigate archived memory as a vessel for identity construction through the reproduction of personal and public historical documents. Drawing on her upbringing as a Korean born and raised in Japan, her work examines how diasporic individuals form cultural identities in relation to fractured conceptions of “home.”
Cherin is a 2026 Luminarts Visual Arts Fellow and holds a BFA in Studio with a concentration in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In addition to working as a Development and Communications Intern at Snow City Arts, her focus is on making creative educational opportunities more accessible and promoting art-making as a tool for collective learning and exchange.
Faith and Cherin have been instrumental in telling our story, engaging our community, and planning for Gallery Night!
