This is the third year Grand Rapids, MI has been home to ArtPrize, and I'm embarrassed to admit that this is only the first year we made it to the event. We were downtown about two hours one on a Saturday afternoon and saw only a handful of entries. I wish we could have gone back for more, but between schedules, naps, and weather, we just didn't get back.
Like anything, it would have been a completely different experience if we hadn't taken the kids with us, but what an amazing opportunity for them!
Grkids.com had posted a "Kid-friendly" ArtPrize walk, highlighting some of the entries kids might enjoy seeing. This was SO helpful, even if we didn't get to see all of the ones on the list! It was too bad that by the end of our time downtown a rainstorm had settled on the city, but we didn't get too wet as we returned to the van. Here are a number of the pieces we saw on our ArtPrize outing:
 |
| One of the top 10! |
 |
| Another top 10 entry! (The guy on the right is the statue...the other two are real!) |
 |
| The eye was designed from different color BBs. |
 |
| A friend from our church is the artist of this piece. He's on the left and his son is on the right. |
 |
| Juice box break! |
