"This unique interactive art piece showcases the faces, hopes, and fears of 250 kids aged 6-18."

"I'm interested in site-specific projects. So this project, which started as a tight-rope walker and morphed into the figure defying gravity, occurred to me while walking around the Grand Rapids downtown during last year's ArtPrize."

"A life size sculpture of a T-rex skeleton honoring the human spirit to survive. It will appear at ArtPrize 2012 in Grand Rapids, MI."

"Perpetual Wonder is an interactive kinetic sculpture, approximately 9 feet wide by 15 feet high, featuring the two images... Viewers are welcome to set the panels in motion by gently pushing on them."

"I have a great location, but to ensure that my work is seen, I absolutely have to go big. The art will be printed at 12' x 16,' and easily visible from the busiest part of downtown."

Eco-Flamenco is a "lavish dress will be covered in thousands of “ruffles” made from circles cut from cereal boxes that are painted various shades of red with reclaimed acrylic house and artists paints."

"The Screwed Arts Collective will ... create a 95’ long and 22’ 5” tall conversation in the Ramp Project Space of the UICA. The purpose ... is to create a unique dialogue with the community ... while at the same time, exposing the process of how art is created to the masses."

"Prayer Flags - Breath is a public art installation of hand-pulled block prints on hand-painted cotton cloth. Inspired by traditional Tibetan prayer flags, abstract images of lungs represent the breath, the basis of all prayer."

Tracy Van Duinen is creating "MetaPhorest," a 2,400 square foot multimedia mural that will be entered in the ArtPrize 2011.

"Alois Kronschlaeger will be creating a new, site-specific work entitled, Spire, encompassing three floors of an abandoned commercial building in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan as part of ArtPrize 2011."

A map of all 50 states made of cast iron skillets. The video makes Alisa's casting process look dangerous and really awesome!
