“Read All About It!” A New Intern has Landed

Hello there!

My name is Matthew Robinson, the newest Marketing and Social Media intern at MAC for the Fall 2011 season.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank former interns Billy Clayton and Ryan Spillers for guiding me through my first few days at the office.  Most of all, I want to thank the Public Relations and Marketing department here at MAC for the opportunity to work with such awesome and knowledgeable people!

I was born and raised in Illinois not far from St Louis, MO.  While small, the area I grew up in produced such incredible icons as Buddy Ebsen (“Jed Clampett” from The Beverly Hillbillies), and candy corn.   After high school, I attended Southwestrn Illinois College where I earned my Associate in Arts.  I relocated to Tucson where I attended The University of Arizona for 2 years before enrolling at Arizona State, my current home.  My areas of study are American Indian History, American Indian Studies, and Anthropology.  One day, I hope to lecture and research at a major university. Harvard or Yale would be nice!

I love people, culture and travel. This summer I trekked around the United States on a solo journey of discovery.  My trip began with a single backpack and a Greyhound pass that could take me anywhere I wanted.  Thirty states and well over 50 cities later, I learned my greatest lesson: “Life is as much about the journey as it is the destination.” I find Art follows the same thinking.  The pleasure we find in a performance like the upcoming Miles Davis Experience on October 14^th  or a painted guitar like those found in Six-String Masterpieces, running through December 4^th  ,  comes from that initial moment of discovery. This wonderful process may also be turned into a personal experience. MAC offers a wide variety of classes and workshops for all ages throughout the year.

I look forward to exploring the events MAC has to offer along with the rest of you. I love to meet people so if you see me at an event, please, do not be afraid to stop and say “Hello!”

I hope to see many of you soon.

Cheers!
