Art Prize 2011

If you remember back in my blog last year, I spent quite a bit of time viewing Grand Rapid's Art Prize competition last year. It's back. Unfortunately it started on Wednesday night, then Thursday morning I left for Mackinac. So missed out on the first round voting all together between the trip and my work schedule. Last Friday afternoon I set out to see what I could. Hit most of the main downtown venues. I know I missed out on quite a bit but time was not my friend this year.

Lots of favorites even from what I did see. My vote went to Mantis dreaming, a huge metal sculpture of a praying mantis with a butterfly perched on his claws. There were some other great ones, too.

Might get to see a bit more tomorrow but voting is done now. They announce the winner tonight.
