Generating new conversations about art and entertainment is the primary goal of ArtPrize. With over 100 venues and thousands of artists, art is definitely a topic of conversation.

As Rick DeVos’ ArtPrize draws ever nearer, more companies are finding ways to become involved. For instance, Steelcase plans to have its Coalesce seating stations set up at critical points throughout the city to encourage people to sit down and chat about what they are seeing. The Rapid will run transit routes at specific times, and Varnum is looking at ways to take advantage of its lofty Bridgewater Place headquarters that promise the best city and river views.
Artists and art lovers will descend upon the city Sept. 23-Oct. 10 from locations around the region, nation and world. Art experts will tour and blog about the exhibits and deliver talks to the public. And art will be scattered everywhere, from The BOB to the river to the old Federal Building and beyond. Needless to say, there are many entrepreneurial opportunities available to collect some U.S. government “art” — you know, the kind with portraits of dead U.S. presidents printed on a field of green.
