About VOICES
Founded in 2016 by the late Barbara Reese, an exquisite poet who believed that the arts were the voice of the soul, VOICES is rooted in the belief that every voice is powerful and deserves to be discovered, expressed, and celebrated. By providing a canvas, a page, a microphone, and a stage, we carry forward Barbara’s vision by creating space for people to find and share their authentic voices.
Through our programming In School, In Community, and On Stage, VOICES weaves together stories from all walks of life and every corner of our community, enriching our shared cultural tapestry. Through storytelling, we create authentic connections and a deeper sense of belonging, inviting people to see themselves and one another in new ways. This commitment to the power of the arts and the human voice continues to fuel the impactful work of our team.
Help us raise $10,000 this Colorado Gives season for VOICES’ Hero’s Journaling Project. Your gift helps immigrant youth explore their identities, express themselves through art and storytelling, and build confidence in their voices. Together, we can create opportunities for young people to recognize shared experiences, connect with their peers, and discover they belong. Support teaching artists, students, and your community through this project!
Founded in 2016 by poet Barbara Reese, VOICES brings people together through the arts and storytelling. Across our In School, In Community, and On Stage programs, people discover and express their voices, encounter one another’s experiences, and build connection and belonging. Our work reflects the belief that every person’s story matters and that being heard can change how we see ourselves and our place in the community.
