ArtPrize 2010

We headed downtown right after church last weekend to check out ArtPrize. It was a perfect day to walk around and check out the exhibits. There was so much to check out. I was busier looking at all of the displays than snapping pictures, but I did get a few.

A giant greeting card


We were surprised at how much Hannah got into it. Even though we had the double stroller, she walked nearly the whole time. A lot of the displays were hands-on, so she really had fun looking and feeling. It really was a fun family experience. The lion above was made of nails. No, they weren't sharp!

A giant nest. Hannah wanted to stay until the giant bird returned. We told her that it was afraid to come back until all of the people were gone!

This was one of Hannah's favorites - man or statue? A little of both.

This was called "Play Me, I'm Yours". There are 20 decorated pianos places all over downtown for people to sit and play. Kind of fun.

This was one of my favorites - a picture of downtown made of a bunch of little plastic beads on display at the Ford Museum. Very neat. One of the neat things about ArtPrize is that anybody can vote for their favorites. There are so many more pieces that we didn't get to see. This week, the top 10 pieces will be announced. I'm hoping that we'll be able to get back next weekend to check out some more.

On our way back, Hannah insisted that we stop and take a picture. She's so hard to get pictures of these days that I was quick to oblige.

What a ham!
