People are like steeples.

They can encourage in times of despair, like the belfry. They can serve as guiding lights when we are lost, like the lantern. They can give perspectives to avoid falling in adverse times, like the watchtower and they can inspire us to live in service to one another and God, like the spire.

SteepleChase is an exploration of Michigan steeples combined with inspirational messages to give rise to a higher calling of service to the world.

Artprize is an international art competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It celebrates artists working in all mediums from anywhere globally and is open to any creative artist with artwork to enter and a venue willing to host it.

From September 16th – October 3rd, SteepleChase will be featured in ArtPrize at Veterans Memorial Park.

I would love to see you there and would be honored to have your vote! |THIS.
