INSTALLATION AT THE HUNTINGTON (BANK), 50 MONROE
GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN
Grand Rapids, Michigan is a delightful city less than three hours drive (or sunset train ride) from Chicago and Detroit. A safe and romantic city with a zesty nightlife, Grand Rapids is the perfect city getaway, boasting idyllic museums and parks and first-class hotels. The drive along I-94 is splendid; the landscaping alone is worth the trip. Come along to be a part of ArtPrize and help us win the grand prize!
