Better hurry to Art Prize

If you are able to go to Art Prize in Grand Rapids Michigan, better hurry if you want to vote on the st round. The first round ends Wed night. Then it is on to vote for the top ten. Great show!! Unwieldy but great none the less.

Art Prize show

We went to Art Prize in Grand Rapids Michigan today. It is a BIG show. It covers
3 sq miles, 193 venues,1,713 Artists and 449,000 dollars in prizes. The chances of winning are not real good. I am happy to be in the show. Kenny and I went to some of the venues that are least visited and saw some great art. It is too bad that most people will go to a smaller area and not bother to search out some of the great art in other areas. There is so much to see, I think it is really too big. We made a small dent in what we would like to see. I guess I will have to look at some of it online. If you can go, do. The show is worth seeing. The art is diverse and some is wonderful. You have to go in person to vote and the voting on the first round ends Wednesday night. The top ten will be voted on the next week. I wonder whose idea this was. It was a good one. I am glad to be a little part of Art Prize.

Art Prize in Grand Rapids

WOW! I am an official Art Prize artist. This has been an exciting experience.
My painting is located at San Chez Bistro at Thirty Eight West Fulton Street, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Kenny and I are going back to check out all of the art we can tomorrow afternoon.
What fun. This is a great show. If you have not heard of it before go to http://artprize.org to check it out. It was a charmer to enter. It took awhile to do it online. I had to reenter my bio about 3 times. I would hit the save button and it was gone. It is done, and hopefully people will pick up my cards and consider buying may art. That would be wonderful. Hope you can all go check out the art at Art Prize either in person or online.
