Artists

Since 2009, ArtPrize has become a staple of the arts movement in Grand Rapids. Every year it attracts artists and art enthusiasts from all over the country. However, some in GR have had enough of the art competition.

ArtPrize kicks off on September 16 and runs until October 3. Artists from all over the world are finding themselves in Grand Rapids setting up for the competition. Let's meet one...

Wow, it's hard to believe that we are getting ready to kick off ArtPrize 8 in less that a week! (Preview week kicked off on Wednesday, August 14th, but the official start of ArtPrize will be next Wednesday, September 21st.) I have been to each and every ArtPrize. One of the things I've learned over the years is there is always more to art than meets the eye.
