What’s a little weekly newspaper doing covering an art event in Grand Rapids? Isn’t that a little odd? Of course it is, but the Observer does a few odd things during the course of a year. Besides, if I am to miss an entire day of work – yes, Saturday is a day of work – then I better come home with something to show for it. Hence, an entire page of photos from the famous ArtPrize event which is truly an impressive thing to see. Maybe a reader or three will make the journey this week.
There’s information about all the artists, their works and the places to find them here.

Did you see where Mia won the $250,000 prize?
