ArtPrize is a radically open competition from September 23 – October 10, 2009 in Grand Rapids Michigan, home of the TerraTrike clubhouse. It is open to any artist in the world who can find space. Open to anybody in Grand Rapids, Michigan who wants to create a venue. Open to a vote from anyone who attends.

There is $500,000 in prize money with the top winner getting $250,000 and there is slated to be over 1200 art installations throughout a 3 mile radius of the city. In a town, and a state that has been hit the hardest in this resession, the influx of excitement, money and pride is greatly welcome.

We at TerraTrike salute Rick Devoss, the creator, and plan on attending the show, on TERRATRIKES of course.
