What You'll Do & See
We celebrate all types of art throughout the city as well as the fascinating stories behind the pieces. Learn little-known facts such as how one work of art that we visit was possible only because the artist had a construction accident. On this walking tour, we will also explore pieces from the international art competition ArtPrize that have stayed in Grand Rapids.
We visit world-renowned works by artists such as Alexander Calder and Maya Lin. We will recount you with stories of their controversies, the inspiration behind them, and their roles in Grand Rapids society.
Some pieces left in the city thanks to ArtPrize are hidden and quite difficult to find, our expert guide will point them out and entertain you with interesting facts and their historical significance.
For a private tour, we can focus solely on ArtPrize pieces during the international art competition (late September to mid-October). Please contact us for more details.
