reelate gets $$!!

Arts in Stark – our local community arts council has awarded us the full $500 we requested for our pilot program starting in January.

Arts in Stark restructured their funding several years ago and has been aggressively investing in arts opportunities all over the county – and to great effect. You can check out many of the projects they’ve funded at their website. http://www.artsinstark.com

how to become a reelate storyteller

Up next?

Getting the word out to as many people to recruit twenty storytellers that create a broad, interesting snapshot of Stark County through their stories.

Anyone you know who may not have heard about this program yet? We need storytellers. Filmmakers, photographers, writers, genealogists, historians and some folks who just tell great stories.

We also need volunteers. Tech support, Storytelling coaches, Web content management, Artists, Musicians, Audio Engineers…

What about story ideas? Do you know somebody who is story-worthy? Someone you’d like others to know about? Let us know. We’re keeping a bank of ideas for our storytellers.

Fwd: This: Email:

To anyone who may not know! I’m reading Clay Shirkey’s (amazing) book, Here Comes Everybody right now. In it he does a great job describing how the web has made it possible for huge groups of people to do very little individual work and end up with unprecedented results. Fwd’ing an email may not seem like a big deal, but it may be exactly the right – sized contribution you make toward enabling someone’s documentary to get made – that otherwise wouldn’t.

Thanks for your investment!
