"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

ArtPrize may be a catalyst for making Grand Rapids into a great Michigan city. With a total of $470,000 in prize moneys ($250,000 of it going to the first place winner), the grand sum lures artists from all over the world and, in turn, their work pulls in Michiganders and others into the city. Each artist enters a piece, knowing that though there are jurors involved, the ultimate winner is determined by votes cast by the public.
