GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — On Monday, ArtPrize, announced artists and venues participating in the 8th annual event.

“After eight years of the artist and venue connections process, venues are refining the ways they select entries and curate their exhibitions. While this is making the ArtPrize landscape more competitive for artists, it is evidence of a deeper understanding of contemporary art and the curatorial process. Ultimately this improves the visitor experience,” said Kevin Buist, ArtPrize Director of Exhibitions.

Organizers said 1,554 artists from 44 countries and 40 U.S. states submitted 1,453 entries for ArtPrize 2016.

This year, artists have a chance to raise financial support for their entries, according to a press release issued by ArtPrize.  The CrowdRise Matching Grant Challenge launched on Monday. It offers ten $1,000 matching grants to the first ten artists to reach a goal of $1,000 from at least ten unique donors in their own campaigns. For more information click here.
