Grand Rapids’ ArtPrize competition once again dominated the landscape as it wrapped up its eighth year with a Friday night awards ceremony and an outdoor viewing party at Rosa Parks Circle.

Of course, music was a significant part of that with The Outer Vibe (a Grand Rapids rock/pop favorite that recently moved to Nashville) and The Accidentals (a Traverse City trio that continues to make waves nationally) performing at the outdoor event for an enthusiastic throng of fans and ArtPrize visitors.
ArtPrize also unveiled the winners of this year’s ArtPrize song contest, with 10 songwriters/artists each winning $1,000 in the competition. Get the full list of winners and listen to the winning songs in this separate Local Spins story.
As for the rest of this week’s selections of concert photos — local and national — we’ll let the images do the talking, from Chris Robinson Brotherhood to Beats Antique to Mustard Plug to The Legal Immigrants to Suzies and more — including Grand Haven’s Grand Armory Brewing one-year anniversary bash with The Crane Wives, Roosevelt Diggs and Delilah DeWylde.
And check out a separate Local Spins review and photo gallery of Ingrid Michaelson’s Friday concert at Calvin College.
