Starting Sept. 14 and running through Oct. 1, ArtPrize takes over Grand Rapids, Michigan, with an array of interactive experiences sure to delight anyone with an eye for art, no matter their favorite medium.

 

During this year’s event, more than 800 artists representing 15 countries and 30 states display nearly 650 art installations across more than 150 venues. Artwork ranges from ceramics to sculpture, paintings to photography. Installations will also appear in parks and bars, museums and hotels. Throughout the two weeks, there will also be a myriad of smaller events to celebrate the multitude of artwork and the artists behind it all.
