The Merchants and Makers ArtPrize Market is taking place ALL THREE Saturdays of ArtPrize! This is our 4th year collaborating with ArtPrize, and our second year RIGHT downtown in the middle of it all. We are in Rosa Parks Circle, along Monroe Center, and on Ottawa Ave! The roads are closed, and we are on the street for a fun STREET MARKET!
Live music all day all over the market.
Drinks available as part of the Downtown Refreshment Area! https://refreshments.downtowngr.org
This is a FREE Community Event. Get out and enjoy ArtPrize!

Parking is easy and close by! Street parking may be available, but is limited, so here are your best options:
Louis Campau Ramp (43 Monroe Center St. NW): Centrally located and covered, often a convenient choice for unloading and quick access. Rates typically range $12–$25.
Monroe Center Ramp (37 Ionia Ave. NW): Covered garage, convenient to the event area. Rates around $12–$25.
Ottawa Fulton Ramp (50 Ottawa Ave. NW): Covered garage, also very close. Rates around $15–$25.
Area 9 Lot (250 Seward Ave. NW): Budget option just across the river at $3/day. It’s about a 10-minute walk, or you can hop on the free DASH bus for a quick ride straight to the event area.
We encourage you to take advantage of the DASH bus if you park in Area 9 — it’s free, fast, and drops you right near the event!
