The RealArts program is designed to help some of Penn's most creative students secure valuable internships in the arts and truly understand the importance, value, and potential impact of creative work in the realm of practice. We want to thank Mingo Reynolds and R.J. Bernocco, Director and Associate Director of RealArts@PENN; and Anthony DeCurtis, Faculty Director and creator of the series of RealArts events and symposia at the Kelly Writers House, co-sponsored by Creative Ventures.
