Venues

ArtPrize® turns the city of Grand Rapids into an art gallery for nearly three weeks. Galleries, office lobbies, restaurants, courtyards, parks--most any space can become an ArtPrize venue.

ArtPrize Venues

Venues are the hosts and organizers of the event. Each venue opens up the chance for artists to challenge themselves with available space, anywhere within the ArtPrize District.

Exhibition Centers serve as destination points for people to start their experience. These centers will have a shuttle stop, voter registration, a store and open at noon each day.


Any venue can select the option to be open at Noon each day, too. We recommend this option only for venues that already keep normal business hours during the day.
