What people said

No matter who wins, the 17-day competition has spurred a lively debate in Grand Rapids, a city of about 200,000 with a tradition of interest in art.

Micheline Maynard

NEW YORK TIMES



To those of us who believe that art has the power to inspire and enliven our communities, [ArtPrize] was a glorious example.

Michael Kaiser, President of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

THE HUFFINGTON POST



If urban leaders are paying close attention, they will use DeVos’ art inspiration as a way to transform the way they do business.

Carol Colletta, CEOs for Cities
