When? July 8, 2023
What is it? A city-wide art scavenger hunt! Local artists hide art in Fredericton NB on July 8th and post clues on Instagram using the event hashtag, #freddyarthunt. Their followers can find their art and keep it for FREE. This is basically a small-scale clone of Game of Shrooms (minus the mushroom theme).
Theme? Completely open! Make whatever you want.
Who can participate? ANY ARTIST located in Fredericton NB! Your age, skill level, or medium does not matter. All are welcome! You do not need to pay or apply to participate.
How to join? Simply hide your art somewhere in Fredericton on July 8th. The time of day you hide your art is up to you. Once your art is hidden, take some photos and post clues on Instagram using the hashtag #freddyarthunt. Please promote the event in advance as well using the same hashtag. Share sneak peeks, progress shots, and pictures of your finished art to generate hype around the event.
Where can I hide my art? In any outdoor or indoor public space (within reason). For example, you could hide your art under a bench, in a bush, or in a store (with the staff’s permission). Get creative! But please do not trespass, hide art in protected areas, or cause damage to nature or property.
What if no one finds my art? Someone will probably find it! Especially if you post clues and promote it well. However, it is your responsibility to retrieve any unclaimed art. This is a leave no trace event.
