ArtPeers is an annual fall festival that runs concurrently with ArtPrize. Currently in its first year, ArtPeers formed as a response to ArtPrize's three-mile foot print that excluded many in the artist community beyond downtown. The three-day event focuses on cultivating artist unity and support in Grand Rapids. From Sept. 25-27, 29 venues along Wealthy Street, Cherry Street and Fulton Street will host nearly 60 artists.
