Almost 4,000 origami birds + Lots of dedicated friends + Four paintings + Visitor participation = ArtPrize 2013
I’m so thankful for the dedication and generous support for everyone who helped Wing and a Prayer take flight. Over thirty friends and friends of friends volunteered 630 hours to help assemble almost 4,000 origami paper birds. Families within Hope Network shared stories and models posed for the artwork. Wing and a Prayer also invites ArtPrize visitors to participate in the artistic process.
ArtPrize is the world’s largest open art competition since 2009. For 19 days, the Grand Rapids downtown area changes into an art venue while public-based voting decides the winner. This unique event involves local and international artists, art, and the active participation of the community.
