Every fall, over 1,500 artists from around the world descend on Grand Rapids, Michigan, to compete for half a million dollars in prizes. Their installations fill the city, from museums and galleries to restaurants, banks, and city parks. During the 19-day exhibition, the public votes to choose the winner of a $200,000 grand prize and four $12,500 category winners. Simultaneously, world-renowned jurors select a $200,000 Juried Grand Prize winner, and four $12,500 juried category winners.
Again for 2016, ArtPrize is partnering with the Indianapolis Museum of Art to help fund an ambitious project by an Indiana artist for a prominent ArtPrize venue. The ArtPrize Pitch Night judging panel will select the winner, who receives a $5,000 grant to realize their proposal at the Ledyard Building during ArtPrize 2016. Five artists will be selected to give a five-minute presentation using five slides each. A panel of five experts and the audience will be able to ask questions of the artists following the presentations.
This event is free to the public!
