Even being able to touch some of the art and interact with it. Yet when I go to ArtPrize I do not find as much enjoyment from it as it seems others do. Walking around downtown Grand Rapids is common for me, so adding art to the scenery is a plus. Seeing beautiful works of art on my way to class or to the

I visited the Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM). I have not visited a museum since 2009 with my children’s kindergarten class. This was a different experience because; the last tour was at the Van Andel Museum which has different type of art. I have worked across from the GRAM for about 12 years.
