The Holiday Inn Grand Rapids Downtown would like to introduce you to the second of our 13 featured artists for ArtPrize 2017. If you haven’t joined us for ArtPrize in past years, ArtPrize is an annual art competition that takes place in Grand Rapids each fall. This year, our lobby will feature artwork that showcases Grand Rapids and Michigan as a whole. Our second featured Artist is Charles Helmholdt and his wife Diane. Native to Grand Rapids, Charles and Diane are excited to make their return to the ArtPrize competition. Their piece, Grand Rapids 1999, offers a futuristic view of our city from a Victorian perspective. Inspired by their work with Euro Disney, this ink and pen drawing depicts specific Grand Rapids landmarks with an exaggerated, turn of the century, twist. Its beautiful antique frame will surely make it stand out! Don't miss your opportunity to see such a fun piece!
The competition runs from September 20 – October 8, 2017. Hope to see you there!
