We are set up. After entering with thousands and thousands of other artist worldwide from dozens and dozens of countries back in April "WE ARE IN and SET UP!". Each artist or group of artists must register thier work with pictures and described needs for the piece and space needed and wait to see of they are chosen by one of the 161 venues to offer the space for the competiton. ONLY 1500 pieces were chosen to compete for the $560,000 in prize money. The Employees and Curator of the Gerald R Ford Presidential Museum contacted us and asked if anyone had contacted us about a venue to display. The employees had voted unanimousy for THE CHASE and were very excited about getting it into the lobby of the museum. We were thrilled and started the paperwork months ago. Yesterday we put up "THE CHASE" in the main lobby of the musuem. I talked with Jim Kratsas,the curator, and he told me that over the next three weeks almost 200,000 people will go thru the musuem during ARTPRIZE 2012. The entire city of Grand Rapids Michigan in a 3 sq mile area will display 1500 works of art in these various venues. Hunters and sportpeople and taxidermits if your in Grand Rapids during Artprize please look us up at the museum and register then please give a vote "The Chase" # 5 2 5 1 1 .
