“I can’t even explain to you how awesome it is to get to open kids’ minds everyday to the world of art…I know that museum visits were a very important part of my childhood, and now the universe has created an entirely new path for me to fuse all of my passions into a crazy colorful quilt of a career…” – Instagrammer @brite_yung_galaxie
