ART Prize

I read a Facebook post today about submitting art to ART Prize and it got me thinking that I definitely want to enter a piece this year. I am thinking from my visit to Art Prize this past year that large pieces tend to resonate well with as they are easier seen by crowds. S I am brain storming ways to create large works of my art. Maybe on aluminum? Maybe Canvas? Maybe Slate? I enjoy working with the alternative mediums.

So here are a few photos from my first trip to Art Prize this past October. The sun was shining and it was a great two days in Grand Rapids.

I met this artist and we talked for a while. He was from NJ and the peice represents our zombie like connection to our mobile devices and the cloud.

A lovely coffee shop that started the day out right.

Me with the artist of the Michigan Tackle. He was from Royal Oak.

Another of my favorite art instilations. I love how the water sparkled on such a sunny day.

Self portrait break.

my own shadow play.

Painted mug shot of celebrities.

Concert in the Park.

Filming!

A crowd gathers to get on WOOD TV.

A shadow exhibit at the GRAM. One of my favorites to win.

An instillation at the GRAM that I very much liked.
