Relive ArtPrize 2013 in Exhibition at the Grand Rapids Art Museum
For the past four years, ArtPrize has been easily among the most anticipated events in Grand Rapids.
ArtPrize is 2½ weeks in late September and early October celebrating art with thousands of people visiting from aross the country for the public art competition.
