Thank You, Artists!

Thank you to all the creative artists who contributed their time and skills to our public art initiatives this year!

You bring art into our community and give it a voice in the public realm - not only through your artwork but also through your passion and dedication to upholding and raising artistic standards in Grand Rapids.

We've had the opportunity to work with many extraordinary artists this year - too many to name them all - and we are so grateful to have each and every one of you be a part of our journey. More significantly, we are grateful that we could be a part of your journey.

We are thankful for all the artists who painted murals for Creston After Dark!

We are thankful for everyone who painted a storm drain sidewalk!

We are thankful for everyone who painted a barricade!

We are thankful for the painters who created Women's Way murals!

We are thankful for the painters who aided the city through Windows GR!

We are thankful for all 1000 artists who created something for ArtPrize this year, and the thousands who've participated in other years.

Thank you for being a catalyst in making Grand Rapids a place where artists can flourish. Thank you for making this a city where art has a voice, and people have the desire to listen.

Thank you for being an inspiration to our community and helping us create public spaces that bring unity through artistic expression.

These murals and public artworks demonstrate how powerful these connections can be and how much we can accomplish when we all work together.

Thank you for collaborating with us to transform our city into a place that is more accepting, inclusive, and aware of the importance of public art.

Thank you for helping make Grand Rapids a more beautiful city.

Happy Thanksgiving!
