Eyes on the ArtPrize
Grand Rapids, Michigan, hosts one of America’s largest (and most festive) art competitions—ArtPrize. It’s quite the drive, but you want to attend, right? Fortunately the Waterville Area Arts Commission has you covered. Their second annual WAAC bus trip will shuttle locals to Grand Rapids (the one up North, not Waterville’s Ohio neighbor) for an afternoon getaway at the festival. Still not convinced? The show, which spreads over three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids and features numerous musical acts as well as street performers, draws an international crowd and has garnered praise from NPR, ABC and other huge media outlets.
Sunday, October 5. Bus departs the Waterville Kroger at 9am. $50. Registration required, deadline is Saturday, August 30. Registration forms available at Silver Linings Gallery. 122 Mechanic St., Waterville. 419-441-0025. silverliningart.com
