ArtPrize - An open art contest based in Grand Rapids Michigan, the world's largest Art Prize.

St. Mark's Episcopal Church
Exhibition director Emily Krueger

Exhibition statement St. Mark’s is proud of its long and meaningful history in downtown Grand Rapids. We celebrate in a gorgeous 19th century Gothic Revival sanctuary, lined with stained glass windows. We have an emphasis on music and the arts in addition to involvement in the downtown community. The committee involved with ArtPrize at St. Mark's is made up of volunteers from the congregation. The hope is to involve the artists as much as possible in the events during the artPrize weeks. We also ask that any artist considering us as a venue will be open to helping ensure that we are an open and inviting venue and participate in possible receptions or other activities related to ArtPrize.
