Two Days, Four Performances!

| Yetzke, Kenagy & Kreindler, When the Days Become a Moment, 2014, performance art |
Hope College will showcase TWO live performances at Cathedral Square, under the title "When the Days Become a Moment", a time-based weaving of dance, poetry and live music performed by twenty-five student and faculty artists from Hope College. This original work explores time, memory, and human connection while responding to the landscape and texture of Cathedral Square. A shifting stage and opportunities for audience interaction invite the viewer to tangibly experience the performance.
1st and 2nd Saturdays of ArtPrize, performances at 11am and 3:30pm each day. Performances expected to last 30 minutes per. Expected to have 5 poets, 5 musicians, and 15 dancers in their ensemble.

One Time Only!

| Dennis Rybicki, Voices of the City, 2014, time-based interfaith choir performance |
In the opening week of ArtPrize 2014, Grand Rapids Diocesan director of liturgical music and 2014 ArtPrize artist Dennis Rybicki, along with the Cathedral Square ArtPrize Team, will host "Voices of the City", a time-based, interfaith, 300+ member, live choir performance event at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, located at 301 Sheldon Blvd. SE in Grand Rapids.
The public is welcome and invited to witness this one-hour performance on September 28th in the parish of the Cathedral at 3:00pm, but seating is limited so hurry! There will also be a live feed showing in the 2nd floor gallery of the Cathedral Square Center, where other ArtPrize entries can also be enjoyed. Refreshments will be served after the choir event.
This event is a free sacred music concert featuring local church choir members and student ensembles from faith based schools in the Grand Rapids area. The 300+ member choir will be comprised of individuals from Aquinas College, Grand Rapids Christian High School, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Basilica of St. Adalbert and more. The concert will start with performances by several individual choirs and culminate with a performance of well-loved hymns by the combined congregation of all choirs included.
One of the largest choir performances ArtPrize, and possibly Grand Rapids, will experience!

Education Days: Students and visitors can learn about the artwork on display, art composition and methodology, and the importance of how rhythm connects to art and life. Meet and greet with artists during these brief informational sessions within the indoor venue space. Sept 30, Oct 2, Oct 7, Oct 9, 9a-12p each day (each session lasts about 1 hour).
Slow Art at the Catholic Information Center: Sometimes people feel like they just don’t have enough time during ArtPrize to slow down and enjoy the art. Slow Art at the Catholic Information Center (CIC), located on the 2nd floor of the Cathedral Square Center, gives visitors the opportunity to relax and spend time seeing art in the venue at a comfortable pace. After viewing, staff and visitors meet with a guest artist, enjoy lunch, and talk about impressions of the art. During Slow Art, people get “inspired, not tired!”.
