Cover Band, Starfarm, is to headline ArtPrize kick-off street party


By: Brittney Schering

Guests of all ages are invited to enjoy live music presented by '80s cover band, Starfarm, which will headline Grand Rapids Public Museum's community street party on Sept. 23.

The band will dance along to songs by Journey, Human League, Tommy Tutone, and Madonna. Front Street is to be blocked off south of Pearl on the west side of the Museum for its performance from 6 to 9 p.m.

Family friendly activities will be set up in the street and on the lawn, including telescopes available for stargazing by the light of the Harvest Moon. Refreshments, including food, beer, and wine, can be purchased in the hospitality tent.

Amway is sponsoring the free festivities of this kick-off event. With the Grand Rapids Public Museum's riverfront location and unique facilities and resources, it creates a not-to-be-missed ArtPrize experience.

The Museum is one of seven exhibition centers that will stay open beyond posted ArtPrize hours so guests can view the 70+ contest entries it holds. It will also serve as a drop-off point for the shuttle travelling from Frederik Meijer Gardens to downtown Grand Rapids.
