GLT Datebook: Scavenger Hunt Uncovers Art

Nina Gordon

The Downtown Bloomington Artists present the second annual Art Scavenger Hunt for grade school children on Friday, Oct. 7 beginning at 5 PM in downtown Bloomington.  As part of the First Friday festivities, the scavenger hunt encourages kids to learn about art in their own community.

  • The event provides an opportunity for youngsters to explore different types of art in a gallery or a studio environment.
  • Kids also get to meet with artists and ask them about their work.
  • Scavenger hunt forms are available at participating galleries and studios the night of the hunt.
  • Each completed form earns a child a small prize when turned in and will be eligible for a door prize drawing for a choice of prize packages donated by Dick Blick and the downtown Bloomington artists.
