Immanuel Lutheran
You’ll catch a very brief glimpse of my ArtPrize exhibit in this video clip from WOODTV-8
Immanuel Lutheran Church has double the amount of artists from the 2009 event – thirty in total!
Tonight (Friday, September 24th) will be the public reception, from 6-8pm. I strongly encourage you to come up and see the exhibits from artists from Michigan, other states, and other countries from around the world!

A first look at the area which will become my ArtPrize 2010 exhibit area inside of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Grand Rapids:
I look forward to partnering with Immanuel Lutheran during ArtPrize. The Church graciously granted me permission to use an interesting glass block wall area to display my exhibit. I chose the area on a whim (as it wasn’t initially designated as a display area) while touring the church. The glass wall caught my eye, as it is shaped like a “wave” and had the reflective qualities of water. It will serve as an excellent background to my Great Lakes images.
Tomorrow (Friday, September 10) I will be adding some blue material as a background from the interior portion of the glass. This should help unify the display and give it a resemblance of lake water.
For those who are interested – the wall is located in this area of the Church:
Immanuel Lutheran Church will be hosting a large group of artists this year for ArtPrize 2010 – 30 artists in total!
Come take a peek at what terrific art will be waiting for you when ArtPrize kicks off on September 22, 2010:

Officially – my venue is Immanuel Lutheran Church in the Hill area of Grand Rapids.
It’s the large, beautiful Gothic church located at the corner of Michigan and Division – next to VanAndel Institute. Most anyone coming into Grand Rapids can see the church high on the hill, now in the shadows of the buildings coming up in the Medical Mile district. The present sanctuary was dedicated in 1890.
At the time of this blog post – there were about 20 artists being hosted at Immanuel. The number of entries you could enjoy here during ArtPrize 2010 may even be greater by July 1 – when all venue/artist connections must be complete.

Just a quick update – I’m working on a hosting agreement with a terrific ArtPrize venue!
I’m certain the display space offered will showcase my work in a very pleasing manner. I look forward to moving ahead to capture the best images possible during my voyage on the Great Lakes.
It will also be an exciting challenge to create the display area. This project will be extremely different than the exhibit created in 2009 for SanChez Bistro – and I can hardly wait to share it with you!
