Downtown

This weekend I ventured to downtown Grand Rapids for the annual art fair Art Prize.

It was amazing. Never knew Michigan could be so cool.

I still want to move away after college, but it was nice to know.

My friend Katie and I walked around for a couple hours and just soaked in the lovely blue sky, the sound of the river slowly flowing by and all of the impressively beautiful art scattered all around the city.

This painting is called "Ceremony of the Oracle"- one of my favorite works of art at the festival. It took the artist 3,000 hours and an entire year to complete it. The picture doesn't do much justice. The detail is incredible and I was and still am so impressed.

This is a close-up of the top of my other favorite work of art. Called "The Three of Re-Life" made from all recycled materials and the details on this one were so amazing.

You can't see the skeleton holding a butterfly, the turtle, platypus, or any of the other little details that made it so special, but it still is amazing. I've always wanted to learn metalworking, but this experience only made it an even bigger goal.

This sculpture was HUGE. It's a dog and his ball made out of all old car parts.

The festival was so much fun and I wish I could've stayed there the entire day. Creativity inspires me and it makes me happy. Maybe it's about time I start on a project of my own.
