ArtPrize...the coolest thing to hit GR

ArtPrize is officially up and running here in GR and it is fabulous!





According to the official web site:
At ArtPrize, any artist—from established to emerging—has the chance to show work. Any visitor can vote. The vote will determine who wins the largest art prize in the world. We also took the unusual step to allow people in the city to open a venue and choose the artists to show in their space. There is not one official curator or jury for the competition






The city is full of people at all days and hours, resturants are running out of food...for a time of economic hardship this event is doing wonders for our little city!






I don't have a critical eye when it comes to art. I am a fan of most of the "big cool stuff" that has popped up all over town. Regardless of which pieces win, this event has been the best thing to happen to GR since Amway!
