I am delighted to share some thrilling news with you all—my artwork will be displayed at the Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for ArtPrize 2024! This is a huge honor and a dream come true, and I couldn't be more excited to be part of this prestigious event.
If you're wondering what ArtPrize is, let me fill you in.
What is ArtPrize?
ArtPrize is one of the largest and most open art competitions in the world. Held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, ArtPrize transforms the city into an open-air and many venues art gallery located all over the city, showcasing works from artists of all mediums and backgrounds. The event spans just over two weeks and invites visitors from all over the globe to explore art in unconventional venues, including museums, bars, public parks, and even churches like Fountain Street.
What sets ArtPrize apart is its unique approach to judging. While there are juried awards decided by art experts, the public also plays a significant role in determining the winners. This interactive element creates a vibrant and engaging atmosphere, encouraging everyone to be a critic and a curator.
About My Artwork
This year, my submission will be exhibited in the beautiful and historic Fountain Street Church. I am particularly excited about this venue because it perfectly complements the themes and emotions I aim to convey through my work. Their theme is the Divine Feminine and my submission consist of two paintings displaying two expressions of the divine feminine archetype known as The Red Madonna or Divine Mother. She is the tree of life. She is the goddess cradling us all in her bosom, grappling with when to step in and when to hold back. With great emotion she nurtures, protects and Loves. She cradles and supports us her children. She witnesses our being-ness with compassion. The connection here is with sacred nurturance and protection. You are held and healed. I hope that you will join me at ArtPrize 2024
ArtPrize is not just an exhibition; it's an experience. If you find yourself in Grand Rapids between September 13th and September 28th I invite you to visit Fountain Street Church and immerse yourself in my artwork and the many other incredible pieces on display. Whether you're a seasoned art lover or simply curious, ArtPrize offers something for everyone.
I am so grateful for your support and encouragement. Thank you! I look forward to sharing this journey with you and hearing your thoughts on my work. See you at ArtPrize 2024! https://www.artprize.org/
