Announcing the rollout of VOICES: A community history project powered by WKTV at ArtPrize Nine! ‘VOICES’ is the local and regional oral history project powered by WKTV Community Media.

Our portable recording studio travels throughout Wyoming, Kentwood—the entire Grand Rapids metro area—gathering the true-life stories—any story from anyone—that make up the fabric of our lives and our community. Our mission is “to collect, share and preserve the stories of people in our community”—the stories of our lives; the stories of people from all walks of life.

Our 28-foot, vintage Airstream® Overlander trailer will be parked across from Rosa Parks Circle on Monroe Center Ave. NW Friday and Saturday, Sept. 22 and 23; and at the intersec- tion of Monroe NW and Lyon NW, Friday-Sunday, Sept. 29-Oct. 1.

VOICES invites ArtPrize attendees to stop on by, have a look at this beautifully restored Airstream, get to know us and, if they’d like, to tell us their story. You can talk about any- thing — your love for art, your favorite family memory, an event in your family’s life — whatever it is, as long as it’s you or your family’s personal oral history, it’s worth it.

After ArtPrize, VOICES will roll on! The VOICES Airstream will make regular appearances at various locations throughout Kent County, beginning with the KDL Wyoming Branch Oct. 16-20 and 23-26. Then it’s on to the Kentwood Public Library Nov. 6-9 and 13-16. More dates are currently being negotiated.

Your memories. Your history. Your life.
