Real People Media (RPM) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization building community by helping people share personal stories through the literary, visual, performing and media arts. These stories help people "step into another's shoes" so that we create understanding and compassion for others in our community and beyond. The organization owns and operates the Keweenaw Storytelling Center in Calumet, Michigan which is located in a historic 1948 Woolworth's building which was gifted to the organization by the Family Dollar Corporation in 2019. Since 2010, RPM has helped individuals and organizations share stories which educated, entertain, and inspire.
RPM hosts storytelling events and classes, provides visual artists with exhibit space, and performance opportunities for storytellers. We provide storytelling activities for all ages, from puppet shows for children, animation and media classes for teens and theatrical events for adults. Come share your story!
