Celebrate creativity where everyone can see it! In partnership with the City of Big Rapids, Artworks invites artists of all ages, including individuals, families, businesses, schools, and community groups, to transform our downtown into an open-air gallery. Submit an original design for a chance to paint your artwork on a banner to have it proudly displayed on one of 106 lampposts lining Michigan Avenue, Maple Street, and the Baldwin Street Bridge. Whether you're a first-time painter or a seasoned artist, this is your opportunity to leave your mark, brighten our community, and help make Big Rapids a little more colorful.
