About ArtPrize
ArtPrize is an international art competition and cultural festival held over sixteen days in Grand Rapids, Michigan — a celebration of ideas, conversation, experimentation, and inclusiveness.

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.

In 2024, 1,005 artists created 887 pieces of art that were exhibited throughout 166 venues throughout the urban core of the city. Once again in 2025 ArtPrize will award over $400,000 in prizes and $200,000 in grants. These grants range from capacity-building seed grants to support Artists' participation in ArtPrize to five-figure commissioning grants to help artists achieve bold and ambitious projects to present at the event.

This is the headliner. The prize that gave ArtPrize its name. The nearly 800,000 visitors who experience ArtPrize do so not only as spectators but as judges. They drive the conversation. They cast their votes. From thousands of entries across six different categories, they choose the one artist whose work wows them—changing that artist's life forever. This is the Public Vote Grand Prize winner, receiving $100,000 in recognition of their time, talent, and effort, as chosen by the public... The public's vote will also award a $10,000 prize to one artist in each art category.

This opportunity is supported by Firehouse Art Center and the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition.
