Through this fall, the city invites community members to participate in Voicing Boulder, a new project led by local artist Chris Carruth. Participants are encouraged to submit videos or photographs of meaningful places, objects or scenes around Boulder, paired with short written or audio reflections that describe their desires for the city’s future. Some submissions may be selected for an exhibit and even as part of the adopted plan. Details on how to participate are available on the Voicing Boulder website.
