LBTP Alumna, Marissa Wong
The Training Program created a sanctuary where vulnerability was encouraged; this environment allowed for growth through trust and familiarity. Post-graduation, you continue to explore perspectives and realize continual change is inescapable; however, the integrity gained during those few years remains beyond the studio.

LBTP Alumna, Amelia Eisen
My experience in the Training Program taught me how to advance my being and direct myself down the path I am meant to take. It also brought me close to many like minds that will be part of my life and art for a very long time. I use what I learned at lines on the daily.
