Last call for Artist Showcase sponsors
The sixth annual Watershed Voice Artist Showcase is exactly one month away, which means we need to finalize our poster to get it printed and in a downtown storefront window near you. If you or your business/organization would like to sponsor our annual fundraising event, you can still do so by emailing office@watershedvoice.com or messaging us on social media by Monday, June 29.
There are two sponsorship levels available and both are open to individuals as well as organizations at $250 and $500 respectively.

There are two sponsorship levels available and both are open to individuals as well as organizations:
$500 — Appear on the event poster, get an individual shoutout on WSV social media accounts, and a sign with your logo/name at the showcase.
$250 — Appear on the event poster and listed among the other sponsors in a general shoutout on WSV social media accounts.
Useless Creatures Brewing Company, The Huss Project, *culture is not optional, World Fare, Deerfield Counseling, and Faxi LePuff (the Leboeuf family cat) have already signed on as sponsors, with plenty of room for more.
This year’s lineup will feature 11 acts with some performing poetry and spoken word (Mister Aubs., Torrey Brown, Debbie Allen and yours truly) as well as several live music acts (Just Mikel., Courtney Moore, Mitchie Moore, Sabrina Banks, the *cino family band, Eddie Leboeuf and Lucky Fultz).
Festivities will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 25 inside The Huss Project Imaginarium (1008 8th St., Three Rivers). Admission is $5 per person, and in addition to the bevy of talent on display, the event will feature a 50/50 raffle with the runner-up receiving a self care gift basket from World Fare, and the winner taking home the traditional cash prize.

How to be an ally during Pride Month and beyond
While Pride Month is primarily about celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community and love in its many forms, it can also be an opportunity for allies to look inward and reflect on how to be better. Not just as individuals, but collectively, what does it take to make someone feel truly welcome — and not simply accepted?
To explore that question, Watershed Voice spoke with Heather Sanford of OutFront Kalamazoo about what meaningful allyship can look like during Pride Month and long after June ends.
