ArtPrize Official Exhibition Announcement

Anthony M. T. Majewski Studio is honored to announce that The Finish – Butterfly has been selected for exhibition at The B.O.B. during ArtPrize 2026. This emotionally charged acrylic work captures the defining psychological and physical threshold of elite athletic performance — the precise moment where exhaustion, determination, sacrifice, and resilience collide. Through dramatic movement, layered texture, and luminous tension, The Finish – Butterfly transcends sport itself, becoming a universal statement about perseverance, human endurance, and the pursuit of greatness. The painting reflects not only the intensity of competition, but also the deeply personal triumph of overcoming adversity, making it one of Majewski’s most powerful contemporary works to date.

Recognized internationally as one of the world’s largest public art competitions, ArtPrize transforms downtown Grand Rapids into a global celebration of creativity, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors, collectors, critics, media members, and art enthusiasts from around the world each year. The 2026 event is scheduled to take place September 17 through October 4, 2026. To be selected by The B.O.B. — one of the city’s most iconic and prestigious entertainment destinations — is an incredible honor. Known for its energy, visibility, and cultural significance within the ArtPrize experience, The B.O.B. provides an extraordinary stage for visitors and judges alike to experience The Finish – Butterfly. Anthony M. T. Majewski Studio is deeply excited to share this work with the public and welcomes audiences, collectors, and ArtPrize judges to experience and vote for this powerful piece during the exhibition.
