Art Scavenger Hunt
May 16, July 18, Sept 19

The Featured Artist’s work will be showcased as part of the “Art Scavenger Hunt,” a fun art education and appreciation adventure. There will be up to ten Destination Venues which will host one Featured Artist piece. The art will be accompanied by a photo of the artist as well as information provided by the artist which can be understood by a 10 year old and include at least three descriptors: subject matter, medium, inspiration for piece or technique. The Art Scavenger Hunters will be required to locate the Featured Artist’s works in at least six venues, including two mandatory venues and will be given clues gleaned from the artist’s descriptors. Completed scavenger hunt forms will be turned in at the Featured Artist Venue. Prizes will be awarded.

Best of Exhibit:
ArtWalk Through Young Eyes Photo Project

Kodak disposable cameras were distributed at the Children’s Art Tent during the May 2008 event with the instruction to record their favorite parts of ArtWalk and return the camera at the end of the evening. ArtWalk developed the photos, matted a photo of the participant along with their best photo; the matted photos will be given to them after the July event. This exhibit illustrates that one is never too young to appreciate the arts…and other important things. There are additional photo collages on display in the lower windows of the Hansen Building, 477 Main.

In addition to the quotations, many screens are also adorned with expressive life cast faces emerging from their surfaces, contributing to a powerful, intimate experience for the viewer.
