We should support artists representing the true diversity of our communities!

Artist with Down syndrome needs Michigan votes for ArtPrize:
Know anybody in Grand Rapids?
Michael Johnson's painting will be on display Thursday in the lobby of The Civic Theater on Division Avenue in downtown Grand Rapids. Each person is welcome to vote once on up to three entries. The three winners will each receive a cash award; Michael would use the cash award to pay for a canopy and transportation to a Chicago area art festival in July. More than thirty thousand people attended last year
