ArtPrize 2013

Downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan is the background for a huge art show called ArtPrize. During the show dates from 18 September-6 October it is hard to miss some part of the event even when just passing through. This year there are 1524 entries spread indoors and out through 169 venues. Entries come from around the world and fill all sorts of spaces from parks, museums, galleries, restaurants, businesses, and schools. There are public voting and juried prizes totaling $560,000. If you have an artistic streak, consider entering in the future. It’s an open show.

This is a friend’s painting that is showing at The B.O.B.

Keep your eyes open when driving through downtown Grand Rapids the next couple weeks, or take a little time to browse while looking for lunch. You can vote for your favorite too.
