Rapid Art Movement

Our one-of-a-kind arts festival returns in a whole new format.

Returning January 20206, Rapid Art Movement is an arts festival that embraces the unique setting and culture of Grand Rapids. Passengers will board a DASH bus transformed through drawings, sculpture, poetry, and performance and take a ride like they’ve never experienced before. It’s all part of World of Winter, the largest winter festival in the US.
