Have you heard of Art Prize? It started in Grand Rapids last year and has quite a following for such a short lived festival. Last year it seemed like a local thing, but this year Etsy has posted articles about it and this pig showed up on the Cake Wrecks Facebook feed (Jen talks a lot about steampunk on her other blog, Epbot). It's cool for me to see something that I have seen in person showing up on blogs and in articles from across the country.
We asked our son on Sunday if he wanted to go see some art. He said a very enthusiastic yes and we took his stroller downtown to see just a small part of the impressive entries.
I didn't see a single thing I didn't like, though I did exclaim, "Weird!" a few times. My son had a definite favorite in some metal fish he asked to see repeatedly. The rest of us couldn't choose.
NIce! I may have to come down next year.
