| The Genesis Collective

Your community is full of stories, and you are the person to tell them.

Welcome to the launch of The Genesis Collective Media Institute! We are looking for people who want to tell stories of their communities through art and media (film, photography, podcasting, radio storytelling, painting). What do you want to celebrate in your town or city? What is a problem that should be addressed? What do people not know but you wish they did? Who are the people who should be highlighted, celebrated, or helped?

We strive to

Honor our subjects and their stories
Honor our communities through our work
Continue to grow in appreciation for our neighbors, our medium, and our art
Empower local voices to speak on their own behalf
Equip storytellers with marketable skills

The
Media
Institute

Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we're here.

Tell Your Story

At TGCMI, you will be the storyteller as you work to complete and exhibit your piece. You will create and learn, over a period of eight weeks, best practices in storytelling, loving your subject through art, and receive technical training and mentorship with an artist in your field. Your instructors are experts in their fields, and we all have a lot to learn from each other!

Whether you are new to the craft and have no equipment, or have been producing artistic storytelling for years, we invite you to apply to be part of the first cohort, beginning in September 2022.
