Did you know that right here in Grand Rapids is an event going on that is very amazing to go see! This event is Artprize!!
What is ArtPrize?
ArtPrize began nearly seven years ago as an experiment – a totally new event, unlike anything the world had ever seen, filled with the experiments of artists and the opinions of everyone. Anything from paper-made items to huge metal sculptures and everything in between!
The event runs from Sept 23 – Oct 11th. For 19 days, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown, and it’s all free and open to the public. With $500K in prizes.
I have gone every year so far and am totally amazed at what each and every person submits for entry into this event.
Here are some websites that you can go to, to find out more about this event and to see things from the years past events. Hope you go!
