Art in the Eye of the Beholder

What is art? Who said it was art? Is it art? These are the words we explored today. On the last beautiful Sunday in September, Bill, his mom and sister and I explored our downtown in a whole new way than ever before.

Artprize has hit Grand Rapids, MI! The contest invited artists to our community to display their art for a chance to win the top prize of $250,000. To say it was successful is an understatement. We have the pleasure of seeing 1,262 artists whose work will be on display until October 10th. I could not believe the number of people who were wondering downtown today. The weather was absolutely beautiful for it. I was amazed at the astonishing creations we saw...some I liked, some I did not get, some I did not like....but that is what art is all about.
