Now being held biennially - each even year.

In 2017 they claim to have had over 522k visitors with 1,346 entries over 175 venues.

ArtPrize is a place to go from idea to action. Artists from all over the world are welcome to experiment, collaborate and execute new ideas. ArtPrize was imagined as a social experiment, a huge conversation. And while the subject matter may be art, the conversation part requires you.

Artists have the chance to win $560,000 in prizes, the largest total purse for any art prize, chosen both by public vote and professional jurors. ArtPrize draws over 300,000 people, from novices to art world movers and shakers. And there’s the chance to install a project in one of nearly 200 urban venues, from an art museum to a laundromat.
