Guest and Travel Tips:
ArtPrize is an exciting time in downtown Grand Rapids and travel can be tricky.
Make your visit fun and simple by reading these tips:

  • Lines to enter the Grand Rapids Art Museum are common at Noon, when GRAM opens to the public and on the weekends. The lines often move quickly.
  • Food and Beverages are not allowed in the museum or galleries to protect the artwork. Please enjoy these items before entering the museum.
  • Avoid traveling with large backpacks or long umbrellas. If you do bring these items, Guest Services is happy to check them for you as you enter the museum. These items can harm the artwork.
