ArtPrize is an awesome idea! It offers the largest art prize in the WORLD and is juried by the public. It's held in Grand Rapids, MI (home to Steelcase headquarters). Who knew GR was so happening? Above is a photo of 3rd prize winner, Eric Daigh. He creates large portraits out of pushpins. Check it out...

Good Read

I wanted to create a pocket spreadsheet with the art and the related scientific discovery to carry with me to the museums so I can view the actual art with the science in mind.  Fascinating book...
