There is a phenomenal Art Contest going on right now in downtown Grand Rapids. Just click this link to find out and be a part of this exciting event: About ArtPrize At ArtPrize, any artist—from established to emerging—has the chance to show work. Any visitor can vote. The vote will determine who wins the largest art prize in the world. We also took the unusual step to allow people in the city to open a venue and choose the artists to show in their space. There is not one official curator or jury for the competition. The number of venues is fluid, so the number of competing artists is fluid. The possibilities are wide open. We can't predict what will happen, but it should be a lot of fun finding out. Come and see.
- Top prize: $250,000
- Dates: September 23 - October 10
- Location: Grand Rapids, MI USA
- Winner is determined by public vote
- All attendees of the event can vote
- Top 10 entries will receive a prize
- Multiple artists can collaborate on an entry
- Artists may only submit one entry
- Property owners/renters in downtown Grand Rapids can become a venue
- Number of artists represented is only limited by number of venues that become available
There is a personal friend of mine in the competition, Cynthia Mckean from Saugtuck, her work in metel is all inspiring & if you get a chance, please vote for her piece called, "Wing". It weighs about 800 lbs. & I think Cynthia weighs, 120 lbs. soaking wet!!! Good Luck, Cynthia!
