GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Tiera Kennedy will be headlining a free concert during ArtPrize, the Grand Rapids art contest announced Thursday.
The R&B and country fusion singer will be performing during the ArtPrize Halftime show on Sept. 26.
Kennedy was featured on Beyonce’s “BLACKBIIRD” on the “Cowboy Carter” album, appeared in a Dolly Parton video and was mentored by Shania Twain. Her debut album, “Rooted,” came out last year.
“Tiera Kennedy is more than a rising star—she’s a force,” a Thursday release from ArtPrize says.

The show will also feature Michigan acts Jake Kershaw and The Bootstrap Boys.
The free outdoor concert is set to take place at Sixth Street Park.
“ArtPrize Halftime is all about celebrating the creative spirit that brings our community together,” ArtPrize Operations Director Theresa Anderson said in a release. “This event is a moment to pause in the middle of the ArtPrize experience and come together—neighbors, visitors, and artists alike—for a shared celebration of art, music, and connection in the heart of our city.”
ArtPrize 2025 is scheduled to take place from Sept. 18 to Oct. 4.
