ArtPrize 2014: App Review

The 2014 version of the ArtPrize app is now available for download.

This year's app includes a new feature which may change the way you explore ArtPrize.

ArtPrize apps have always helped visitors find the art, artists, and venues they're looking for. This year it's even easier.

The difference is the new listing feature.

Anyone may create as many lists as they wish of their favorite ArtPrize entries. Lists may be made public or private. Some ArtPrize venue curators have shared their lists.

Open a list in the app, click on "Route this List", then your phone will tell you where to go to see the next entry on your list.

Don't know your way around Grand Rapids?

It doesn't matter anymore. Getting to all of the pieces you want to see will be quicker with routed lists.

Activating your account and voting from the app are both simple too. Just get to downtown Grand Rapids, hit the "thumbs up" tab, then you can activate your account.

The Guide tab, on the lower right, will help you to quickly search all entries by entry name, artist name, or venue.

The app's Guide tab also provides easy access to information on upcoming events, how to vote, the rules, and how to volunteer.

ArtPrize founder Rick DeVos announced the app's arrival last night.

The new app is easy to navigate. Add that to the new listing feature and it's the best version yet.
