From WOOD TV 8:
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Tonight’s the night: The winners of ArtPrize Nine will be announced this evening.
More than 1,300 works were entered into ArtPrize Nine. Public voters narrowed that to 20, and now they’ve chosen which will take home four $10,000 category awards and the $200,000 grand prize.
Jurors also selected 20 pieces of art for their Shortlist, plus five finalists for the Outstanding Venue award. Those entries are also up for $10,000 category awards and a $200,000 grand prize.
Two pieces, Red Dirt Rug Monument and ENMESH, are both public vote and juried finalists, which means they could take home $20,000 in category awards.
Plus, new to the world’s largest art competition this year, the public had the option to vote for pieces on the jurors’ Shortlist when selecting their grand prize winner. That means a single artist could win $400,000.
The ceremony being held at 20 Monroe Live and begins around 7:30 p.m.
