Last year Grand Rapids started something new....Art Prize. It is an art competition that allows the public to vote for their favorite piece of art. This year there were over 1700 entries. Last year we didn't go...didn't really know what it was all about, but this year we did! We packed up after church Sunday morning, ate lunch and Megan and Josh's house and headed downtown. It was busy...but fun! I love seeing how the kids look at different pieces of art and what they see in them that us adults don't even notice. Here are a few pictures from our fun Sunday afternoon!
We started at the Woman's Literary Club...there was a piece there that encouraged you to help make it....so here are aunt Megan and the kids "making" the art piece!
We then headed more into the down town to Calder Plaza. We came upon this amazing thing....it is all t-shirts cut apart with the neck holes left intact...the kids loved it!
Ian peeking through...
Kendra peeking through!
Lucas...
and Gavin!
The kids got a bit ahead of us and one point and when we caught up....this is what we found...
Looking at this...AMAZING!
