This morning Rick DeVos announced his new project, Art Prize. It's a unique event that combines public art with the Grand Rapids community. According to this morning's press release:
Details of ArtPrize, which will run from Sept. 23 through Oct. 10, were announced today from the competitionās host city of Grand Rapids, Mich. ArtPrize will have no formal jury, curator or judge. The public will decide who wins the prizes by voting, using mobile devices and the web.
This is of course going to be fantastic for local businesses as well as the city of Grand Rapids. Check out the site and spread the word!
