ArtPrize is an international art competition & cultural festival held annually in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Each year, ArtPrize welcomes nearly 800,000 visitors to discover the transformative power of art. Visitors can explore the works of thousands of artists from around the world as the city transforms into a canvas, with awe-inspiring sculptures, installations, paintings, and more displayed throughout Grand Rapids streets, parks, galleries, and restaurants.

We invite Oklahoma artists to apply for your chance to represent the state of Oklahoma in this international art competition. Five artists will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges for a chance to win a $10,000 grant. This funding supports the creation, transportation, and logistics of their ArtPrize 2025 installation in Grand Rapids, MI (Sept 18–Oct 4, 2025). The winner also receives complimentary registration and ArtPrize assistance in securing a high-visibility venue.
