Intern Spotlight

Meet Chloe!

My name is Chloe Hart, and I'm an Arts Administration Intern at the Pump House! I am currently a senior at UW-La Crosse studying Communication Studies and Arts Administration.

In my position, I am excited to learn how to efficiently use software surrounding donors and fundraising, in addition to assisting with several different kinds of events. I am currently helping put together the Visual Arts aspect of Artspire 2023! This experience is helping me learn how to go about getting permits/licenses from the city, planning logistics of a large event, jurying artists, and communicating with artists and vendors.

A little about me: I enjoy embroidery, collecting plants, and cooking new meals. I also love to perform in plays and musicals! Come see me in UW-L’s production of the musical "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", running April 21-23 and April 27-30.
