Art Prize 2009

Grand Rapids is hosting "the largest art competition in the world." Over 1200 artist have entered this competition for a chance to win the top prize of $250,000. The competition has been going on since Sept. 23 and will conclude on Oct. 10th. There is art work spread all over the downtown area in different venues. It is quite a site to see downtown Grand Rapids busy with so many people taking in all the different art pieces. Here are a few pics from some of the outside pieces. The two pieces on the right are in the final 10, one is a giant table and chairs set on top of one of the pedestrian bridges ove the Grand River, the other is the Lockness monster that has been placed in the river.

Ethan has enjoyed going downtown, or "dow tow" (he drops the 'n's when he says it!).

For more information check out artprize.org (I think).
