Get Set for ArtPrize 2025
ArtPrize is back, and Grand Rapids is turning into a giant art gallery from September 18 – October 4, 2025.
For 16 days, the whole downtown is in on the action, with art popping up everywhere, from parks and bridges to breweries and coffee shops.
It’s free, fun, and there’s always something new to check out, with over 150 venues showcasing everything from huge installations to quirky little pieces.
It’s all spread out, so you can stroll the city and stumble upon art around every corner.

There’s family fun all year long at the Lena Meijer Children’s Garden. This interactive space fosters the use of all five senses through gardens, sculptures and playscapes, encouraging children to see, smell, and touch as they learn and explore.
