We build community when we share our stories - whether they be a memory, an experience or just simply telling what we think is great about this place. While at various ArtPrize venues throughout the event, The Rapidian's Story Matters project asked several local citizens to share their stories. STORY MATTERS. is a story collecting project from The Rapidian and GRTV.

Albert Koopmans visited us at SiTE:LAB and sat down to tell his story. Koopmans believes Grand Rapids has something for everyone, and says everyone should come down to experience ArtPrize. When asked what was the most memorable work he has seen at ArtPrize, Koopmans recalls an entry from a previous year, and explains what qualifies, for him, as inspiring artwork.
