It's opening one week from tonight, Friday, November 18 at Grand Rapids Civic Theatre, and the excitement is bubbling. Beauty and the Beast, based on the Academy Award®-winning, Disney animated feature, can't wait to hit the stage, and the West Michigan audience can't wait, either.
For art patrons throughout Michigan, next Tuesday night, October 25, will be a most significant evening. Renowned sculptor and printmaker, Dietrich Klinge will make a rare public appearance as guest lecturer at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.

There are many different types of artists that enter ArtPrize and there are many different reasons that artists enter.
Some artists enter to win. Some enter for exposure. Some enter because they love to share their craft. It's often a combo of all three, but it's definitely not always just about winning.
The winners of ArtPrize Eight have been announced including two $200,000 Grand Prize winners.
The Public Grand Prize goes to Wounded Warrior Dogs by James Mellick. The Juried Grand Prize goes to The Bureau of Personal Belonging by Stacey Kirby.
There are 170 venues at ArtPrize Eight. It takes time to explore even a small fraction of them so you have to choose your stops carefully to make the best out of ArtPrize.
Most people stop at some of the major venues that regularly have entries in the second round of voting. That's a good start, but we have another venue to add to that must-see list.
There are two things ArtPrize Eight is not short on: surprises and fish.
The Public Vote Final 20 includes entries featuring trout and sturgeon as subject matter.
