Van Andel Arena is getting on board. Debuting its first ArtPrize exhibit as an official ArtPrize venue, Van Andel Arena will join DeVos Place in opening the competition with public receptions simultaneously just down the block from each other.
DeVos Place and Van Andel Arena will hold the artist receptions on Wednesday, September 21 from 6-9 pm. The receptions will include food and beverages (cash bar). DeVos Place will hold the reception in the Grand Gallery. This is a great starting point for the first "official" night as 63 different artists will have works represented in Grand Rapids' premiere convention center.
Van Andel Arena will host the artist reception at the same time in front of the Fifth Third Bank Vault (restaurant in the arena). The focus will be around the artists by our marquee. The restaurant will be open too. Food and beverages with a cash bar will be available also.
The public is encouraged to join us as we kick off the third annual ArtPrize in style! Not only will the public be able to mingle with more ArtPrize enthusiasts, they will also get to see some great art and learn more about the artists.
