This week I was able to stop by ArtPrize in downtown Grand Rapids. Once again I was disappointed by the amount of "craft" art I saw. While I was there I saw nothing that seemed worthy of a vote. I am glad that this year there will be two different kinds of judging. One type of judging is like we have always had, public review. However, this year they also added a professional judges. It will be interesting to see how the public review matches the professional judges.
If you would like to see what ArtPrize is like you can go to their website... http://www.artprize.org
And if you live in Grand Rapids go look at the art and see what you think for yourself.
