Hello Reader, UPDATE ON ARTPRIZEArtPrize is an annual international art competition and cultural event held in Grand Rapids, MI. ArtPrize is a 501c3 nonprofit. We fundraise year round to cover our entire operating budget, including the over $600,000 (!) awarded in prizes and distributed in grants to Artists, curators, and educators. Registration is open now until May 31st. The registration fee is higher this year at $65 but I believe the ArtPrize experience is well worth it.
