Identifier:
2009.53.4Description:
These 2 bracelets were available to ArtPrize voters and sponsors to indicate their status, they also allowed people wearing them to access free shuttle transportation. The "VOTER" bracelet is orange and the "SPONSOR" bracelet is brown.;This group of artifacts are significant because they will help the GRPM document the first annual ArtPrize. Developed and organized by Rick DeVos in 2009, ArtPrize is an art contest held each Fall in Grand Rapids, MI where the winners are decided by a popular vote. In its inaugural year, the contest had 1262 entries hosted by 159 venues in downtown Grand Rapids. Opinions about ArtPrize varied widely, but most people considered the event a success, as it certainly appeared to achieve its goal, which was stated by Rick DeVos as "to see the city of Grand Rapids taken over by art, for the streets to be filled with people exploring, talking, and learning."Date:
