Submit a proposal for the ArtPrize 2010 competition.

Information

ArtPrize is a platform for creation, an event that you can take into your own hands, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

We can all agree that art is important. It’s only with questions about “which art?” or “why?” that we start to disagree. ArtPrize is an event where, for two weeks, everyone can find a way to put the fundamental belief that art is important into action.

The vote is not a way to discover the “best” art. It is the action to get everyone talking about art.

The prize is not a reward for the most important achievement. It is the world’s largest excuse to get creative and try something new.

For two weeks, a giant community forms around a grand and common project based on the belief that art is important. We believe that is worth far more than the prize money.

For eight remarkable weeks this spring, empty storefront windows along Granby Street in Downtown Norfolk will be
transformed by art. The corridor will be one monumental gallery. The windows and facades of vacant properties will be the walls. And it will all commence with an opening night celebration where we’ll fill the streets with art lovers.
For viewers, Art|Everywhere represents a new and inspiring way of looking at Norfolk. For artists, it is an opportunity to portray your creative vision on a largerscale canvas than perhaps ever before or again, and for it to be seen by the masses.
