Kyle Ramey photoHOOD RIVER — The Sense of Place event series has announced a Request for Proposals for presenters interested in being a part of its 15th season.
This anniversary season will run during the fall/winter, 2024-2025. The popular program connects people through place and storytelling, using the Columbia River Gorge as its common ground.
The series features people with a unique knowledge of the Gorge and has featured scientists, tribal members, authors, farmers, among many. Presentations run 45-60 minutes on topics that relate to the cultural and natural history of the Columbia River Gorge. Selections will be made by a volunteer committee led by Sense of Place Host and Curator Sarah Fox, a Hood River resident and producer of Hear in the Gorge, the podcast companion to Sense of Place.
Sense of Place Season 15 will have live, in-person events in Hood River and will be livestreamed online. Presenters can submit proposals online at senseofplacegorge.org, the deadline is April 26.
The Sense of Place series happens monthly, between October and April and regularly presents to sold-out audiences, in addition to livestream viewers. Speakers do not need to be Gorge residents, and overnight accommodations are available for out-of-town speakers. Selected presenters receive a modest honorarium and event marketing to 4,000 e-newsletter subscribers and via social media accounts, and an additional 7,000 more reached via regional newspapers and partners in Oregon and Washington. An archive of past events can be found at senseofplacegorge.org.
For more information or to respond to the Request for Proposals, please go to senseofplacegorge.org or email Fox, sop@mtadamsinstitute.org.
Sense of Place is a program of Mt. Adams Institute whose mission is to strengthen the connection between people and the natural world through education, service learning, career development, and research.
