Thank you to the thousands of visitors who helped us successfully to complete our tenth year of ArtPrize. It has been an amazing journey! ArtPrize visitors wrote 65,000 promises to be kind at our interactive healing installation. We are truly grateful for all your amazing support.
Thank you to the all Broken Wings team members, Kickstarter and private donors, volunteers, collaborators, contractors, mentors, and friends. Your contribution made a difference.
A special thank you to International Arts Movement for sponsoring Broken Wings and to the Grand Rapids Public Museum for the opportunity to exhibit at a great location for ArtPrize Ten. I am also so grateful for the support from Moonlight Graphics and Bridge Street Electric. Thanks a million everyone!

Broken Wings engages the viewer through art and invites growth. It’s a twofold process. First, just like a butterfly changes within the cocoon, individuals are invited into a transformative experience. A personal opportunity for growth. As visitors interact, the work begins the process of changing, transforming, and emerging.
Secondly, the work connects the artist and the viewers through collaboration. One smiling woman said, “This work makes me feel so connected to others. My kindness promise is linked to another’s promise. So, in a way, this work links us all together.”
This woman experienced hope through engaging art. She experienced the power of healing within an interactive creative experience. Her contribution, as well as everyone else’s, has the potential to bring about collective change. Eventually, after visitors had written their promises and the work was ready to emerge, like the butterfly, the kindness-promises took flight.
