The Caristales River, located near the town of La Macarena in Colombia, world famous for its colorful display, has been called “the river that ran away to paradise”, “the most beautiful river in the world”, and “the river of five colors”.
During Colombia ‘s wet season, the water flows fast and deep, obscuring the bottom of the river and denying the mosses and algae that call the river home the sun that they need. During the dry season there is not enough water to support the dazzling array of life in the river. But during a brief span between the wet and dry seasons, when the water level is just right, the many varieties of algae and moss bloom in a dazzling display of colours. Blotches of amarillo , blue, green, black and red – and a thousand shades in between – coat the river.
The part of the river where the colourful blooms occur is quite isolated and is not accessible by road. Adventurous tourists can now fly into La Macarena and then make their way to the river site on foot as part of guided tours. The site was effectively closed to tourists for several years because of guerrilla activity in the region along with concerns about the impact of unregulated tourist traffic. However, the site was re-opened to visitors in 2009.
So far, some 1,000 people have visited Caristales, including around 100 foreign tourists.

Beginning its 2nd year, ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan will host the largest publicly juried art event in the world. In 2009 1,262 artists participated in 159 venues. Forty one states and 14 countries were represented; 200,000 visitors attended over the 16 days of the event.
The promotional poster features color overlays of Alexander Calder’s La Grand Vitesse, a prominent art fixture in Grand Rapids. This sculpture is notable for being the first public work of art in the United States to be funded with federal monies. (Additional public art in GR includes Maya Lin, Robert Morris, Mark di Suvero, and others). As Michigan’s economy struggles, Grand Rapids is reinventing itself as a center for Health Care and art.
ArtPrize 2010 is expected to surpass 2009 in artists, venues, as well as attendance. Dates are September 22 – October 10. Could a renaissance of sorts be underway in America’s heartland?
