Experience Guide
ArtPrize is a remarkably open and collaborative event by design. It provides a platform for artists worldwide to exhibit their works in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, transforming the city into an immersive art gallery. Restaurants, businesses, and organizations within the ArtPrize boundary register as venues and curate their own displays, while artists choose the venues that best suit their entries. This process allows a diverse range of businesses, organizations, and artists to participate.
Together, these independently organized art exhibitions form one of the world's largest art competitions, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the globe. All ArtPrize venues are free and open to the public for exploration and enjoyment. Below, you’ll find information on where to find the art, events, and how you, as a visitor, can interact and vote for who you think should take home a piece of the $400,000 in prize funds.
