Grants & Awards

All the buzz, all the excitement—all the creative energy crackling through venues and city streets—culminates in the awards themselves. 

Artists are the beating heart that makes the ArtPrize experience possible, and one of the great joys of the event is recognizing their extraordinary talents and rewarding the most exceptional among them. 

As an open, international art competition, our core mission is to elevate and celebrate amazing art, making Grand Rapids a premier destination for the arts community. This year, we’ll honor outstanding artists by awarding a total of $600,000 in grants and prizes.
