*Promotion for two of our time-based entries*


Voices of the City:
Crowds of people filled the Cathedral of Saint Andrew to overflowing on Sept. 28 for Voices of the City, a 300 + member interfaith choir performance. This ArtPrize entry in the time-based category was organized by Dennis Rybicki, director of liturgical music for the Diocese of Grand Rapids, and hosted by ArtPrize at Cathedral Square.

Performance Times and Location: Saturday, September 27 and Saturday, October 4, 11am and 3:30pm Piazza Secchia of Cathedral Square (outside the Cathedral of St. Andrew), 301 Sheldon SE "When the Days Become a Moment, When the Body Becomes Adrift" is a time-based weaving of dance, poetry and live music conceived and performed by twenty-four 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 invites the viewer to experience the performance from different vantage points. "If time was a line and not a circle / like our bodies. / Or a kick drum like your heart / shimmering in the riffle."
Catch their next performance Saturday, October 4, 11am and 3:30pm, at the Secchia Piazza.





All Saints Academy, GR:
