By Henry Erb

ArtPrize entry 'Lights in the Night'

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Thousands of people crowded Bridge Street Bridge and stood in front of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum Friday to become part of a spectacular ArtPrize entry. 

Volunteers handed out Chinese sky lanterns to a cast of thousands who were all part of an ArtPrize entry in Ah-Nab-Awen Park. 

At 8 p.m., the people lit the lanterns and launched them into the sky over Grand Rapids.
Artists Mark Carpenter and Dan Johnson called the entry"Lights in the Night." It was meant to make the dreams of a community take flight -- and it left an impression.
