Art Prize 2011
Barry County Artists
Time to cast your vote! Below, you will find images of the artwork of Barry County area artists who are participating in Art Prize this year. The voting process below is for fun only and comments will not count as votes or be used for official sponsorship judging. Please note that you may only vote for one entry, so please view all entries before casting your vote.
Thornapple Arts Council will award a $1,000 grand prize to the winning Barry County area ArtPrize artist. 10 other entries will receive a $100 participation prize. The winning artist will be decided by a panel of judges, consisting of the 2010 sponsorship winner; a Thornapple Arts Council board representative; a Barry County art teacher; a community artist who has not applied for the sponsorship program in the current year; and a Barry County art patron. Thornapple Arts Council welcomes community support for images displayed on thornapplearts.org, but opinions expressed on the site will not be considered in the panel’s decision.
