Our summer home in Sand Lake is just north of Grand Rapids, Mi where they just had the annual Art Prize competition. Art Prize is a 3 week long orgy of art culminating in a $200,000 top prize decided by the vote of the people viewing the art. Every type and kind of art that you can think of is presented in the competition throughout the Grand Rapids downtown area and the surrounding areas. This art includes everything from paintings to statues, mosaics and free form to movable art and participation art. Sound, motion, stills, murals, and art pushing themes to pure whimsy. It’s a glorious 3 week feast of the arts. If you can, you should make time to come, see and participate in it. Here are just a few of the 1000 different Art Prize entry’s that we saw in the course of 4 days of walking. It was incredible.
