Thanks to forward thinking by Rick DeVos and backing from the Dick & Betsy DeVos Family Foundation, metro Grand Rapids today has become the site of an international competition for the world’s largest art prize. DeVos gives his reasons for putting Grand Rapids on center stage.

And what can I say? Sometimes things just work out. Because of another small project that I was given the opportunity to work on for ArtPrize, I was also allowed to shoot an interview with Rick prior to the big announcement. And, let me just say for the record that I think Rick and his team have come up with something truly special:

Here’s a story on the Wealthy Theatre. Have I mentioned how much I love living in this neighborhood!

Wealthy Theatre is the anchor of the Uptown neighborhoods in Grand Rapids, MI. From ‘America’s Got Talent’ style, New Talent Night, to cult classics in the micro-cinema… It all happens at the Wealthy Theatre.

Degas in Bronze at Frederik Meijer Gardens

Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park hosts the only midwest exhibition the complete collection of Degas in Bronze.

Since recording equipment is not normally allowed in for the special exhibitions it was quite a pleasure to be able to bring in my cameras. The Gardens are a truly spectacular gift to the Grand Rapids community and I did my best to capture their beauty in this peace.

This was an exciting project for me. I was asked to create a highlight film of sorts for the Downtown Alliance of my hometown, Grand Rapids. They wanted to enter their new marketing campaign in a contest and needed a video show it off.
