Art Prize!

I BIG reason to love Grand Rapids is that it created and hosts Art Prize! Last year was the first one and I'm sorry to say that even though we lived downtown at the time we did not take full advantage of the festivities. In fact the only 2 art works that stand out in memory was the giant table and chairs and Nessie. This year we have been there twice and still have only seen maybe 20% of the pieces.

Giant Spike!

Diftwood faces and animals

Scrap metal dragon! 

I don't know...but I think its really interesting 

Elephants on parade! Their heads bob up and down in the wind

And my favorite so far is...

because it is SO intricate and modeled after the Red String of Fate

How long did it take her to make all those!? 

Anyway, we had a great time with friends wandering and wondering at the art. If you're anywhere near GR you've got to go. I'm even thinking of adding a thing to my List of 27 for next year- make an entry for art prize.
