ArtPrize 2026: Awards & Fashion Show

Join Grand Rapids for the grand finale of ArtPrize at the Acrisure Amphitheater—an evening celebrating the artists and artworks that defined the festival. The night kicks off with the Awards Celebration, where you'll see winners announced across both juried and public voting categories, including the major grand prize recipients. It's a wonderful way to recognize the creativity that made this year special. The celebration then shifts into an elegant fashion show featuring couture designs from RC Caylan Atelier, accompanied by live ballet, symphony, and opera performances. The evening culminates in a breathtaking drone show. There's also something unique happening: Guinness World Records representatives will be present to officially document an attempt to break the record for largest fashion show attendance. Doors open at 6:30 PM, with the awards ceremony beginning at 8 PM and the fashion show starting at 9 PM. This is a memorable way to close out ArtPrize and be part of a community celebration of the arts.
