We know that times have been rough all around and as you may already know, youth programming budgets in general are being cut across the board. But KL is still dedicated to offering quality interdisciplinary programming that promotes the positive aspects of Hip Hop culture, while simultaneously instilling in its youth artists the importance of taking a proactive role in their communities and the world. Please join me in supporting KL's Arts Explosion!
