Rob Cole doesn't have a background in art, but after three years experience ArtPrize, he says he's learning how to let himself open up to artwork that he doesn't think he understands.

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.

Rob Cole has been to ArtPrize three years. While at SiTE:LAB talking to a producer of the time-based performance piece Angle of Repose by Dance in the Annex, he discovered how to appreciate work that he originally may have thought he couldn't understand.
