Arbor Circle presents the second annual Growing Together event. As our community commemorates Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year, join Arbor Circle on January 12, 2023 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm for a free panel discussion on the film King in the Wilderness.
The panel discussion, presented in partnership with GR Media Initiative & Film Incubator (GR-MiFi), will take place at Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids, Michigan with the option for guests to join in-person or virtually. While the event is free to attend, please register to help us plan:

The film will not be shown during the event, however event attendees are encouraged to watch the film prior to the discussion. King in the Wilderness is available for free viewing on YouTube; a link to view the film is also on the Eventbrite registration page.
Event panelists include award winning activist Aly Bates, GR Media Initiative & Film Incubator (GR-MiFi) President Rodney Brown, founder and CEO of Mezcla Mosaic Collaborative Vanessa Jimenez, and Arbor Circle Street Outreach Specialist Artemis Tally. Topics covered will include the impact of King’s activism on his personal relationships, the impact of place on racism, and how our panelists relate to King’s experience in their own social justice work. This event is sponsored by Macatawa Bank, Mika Meyers, and Urban League of West Michigan.
