Q&A with Jt Cattle, Marketing Committee Volunteer

When and how did you first develop a passion for your work?

When I first started living in Des Moines. We are an arts-based organization with a passion for sharing our mission, and everything we do requires that passion to be carried forward into the community, and into the education that we provide to the youth.

I'm a first-timer. How do you get me ready for the experience?

If you like the arts, if you like to have a good time. And if you like to run, the Rock n' Run is the perfect combination. The best way to get ready is to bring your friends along so you have others to Rock Out with. The more people, the more opportunity for fun.

What is the one feature of your business that you're most proud of?

Arts education. It's fun for all ages, and helps the community in ways that will last a lifetime.

Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?

The arts build communities. Greater Des Moines will be recognized as a place where the arts thrive because of Metro Arts Alliance.
