Applications for Pitch Night Arizona are LIVE! 🎉

ArtPrize is proud to partner with Artwins Arizona to present Pitch Night Arizona on June 30, 2026.

Five artists will be selected to take the stage for five minutes each, pitching bold, original concepts to a panel of five jurors—all competing for a $10,000 grant to bring their work to life at the 2026 ArtPrize event (September 17–October 3, 2026).

This grant is dedicated to proposals from artists 18 years and older from the state of Arizona. In addition to the grant, the selected artist will receive complimentary ArtPrize registration and hands-on support in securing a high-visibility exhibition venue during the event.

From “I do” to downtown views, every moment becomes a masterpiece when Grand Rapids turns into a citywide gallery. ❤️

“We didn’t plan or purposely choose the weekend of ArtPrize, but when we booked with our venue, they told us that weekend was during ArtPrize. We thought that was the best weekend ever because all of our guests were coming in from out of town, and it would give them so much to do and a chance to see the city at its peak time! It was so fun taking pictures in the busy city and almost feeling like a moving exhibit ourselves.” -Jessica Palmer
