Starting on Sept. 23, select ArtPrize artists will grace the Public Museum with free hour-long interactive presentations throughout the 2010 competition. The "Artist Interactive" series will be held in the museum's Overlook Room, Meijer Theater and Demo Lab.
11 of the 70+ exhibiting artists will present on various topics. They will also participate in a question and answer period during each scheduled Artist Interactive session.
The presentations will include an artist sculpting a clay bust in just 30 minutes, as well as a workshop for teachers on how to create gnomes out of birdseed along with a discussion that explores how large-scale works are created out of fragile materials. A schedule that lists daily topics and room locations will be available at the Museum's front desk upon guests' arrival.
Museum President and CEO, Dale Robertson, explained, "Offering this interactive presentation series just adds to the comprehensive ArtPrize experience that our visitors will have here."
Guests are also welcome to enjoy refreshments inside the Museum's café and in the south lawn hospitality tent. ArtPrize merchandise will be sold in the Curiosity Shop, as well. Be sure to check out the memorable souvenirs.
Artists from Britain, Scotland and South Korea, along with one artist who is originally from Grand Rapids (and now operates in Singapore and Hong Kong) are among the 11 selected to present.
