On June 17, ART21 announced a partnership with ArtPrize 2014, the public art competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan now entering its sixth year.
ART21 founder and executive director Susan Sollins will lead the ArtPrize Grand Jury to award the event's Juried Grand Prize winner. The Grand Jury also includes two artists to be featured in the forthcoming Season 7 of the PBS broadcast series ART21 Art in the Twenty-First Century: Leonardo Drew and Katharina Grosse.
The world preview of Art in the Twenty-First Century, Season 7 will take place during ArtPrize on October 2, with a U.S. broadcast premiere to follow on PBS later in the fall. Additional screenings of other ART21 films will also take place throughout the event.

From the ART21 New York Close Up series
