Grand Rapids Art Prize

We met my parents, brother, nephew and friend in Grand Rapids to see Art Prize; "...a radically open competition. Open to any artist in the world who can find space. Open to anybody in Grand Rapids, Michigan who wants to create a venue. Open to a vote from anyone who attends." It was very cool and Kaia had a lot of fun, between her, her 3 year old cousin, 2 month old Katalin and ssoooooo many people, I only got pictures of a couple exhibits, but they were all over the city, inside and out.

This textile rainbow tunnel was Kaia and Katalin's favourite. Katalin especially was so vocally and animatedly excited about it that the artist came to beg a picture of her admiring it. It continued outside the window lined corridor as well, with colourful rocks spiraling away on both sides.


Kaia really, really wanted to play with and on this rainbow river of blown glass rocks, and also particularly liked the these rockets.




Her and her cousin Ion got stuck at these paper covered table for a long time and we took turns walking around and staying with them. :) Here they are with Grandma.


Kaia and Ion were so excited to be together and terribly cute! Oh, and once carousal was spotted, it could not be passed up without a couple rides!
