Hunt For Art

Alina November 17, 2022

There are many hidden art treasures in Escondido to be found, and we will discover them All. The treasure hunt/scavenger hunt gives you clues to finding them. But just to be fair, we will all leave at the same time. You will be given your first clue Saturday evening at 4:00 PM online. Then the next one is at the next location.

Upon finding and arriving, you will find the next clue, and so on. Each week we will discover hidden treasures about Escondido art and the artist that make it. Each hunt will take somewhere between 1 to 5 hours depending on you and your team.

You may choose to find the clue, and then quickly move on to the next clue, or you may want to simply stay awhile and enjoy the art at that clue’s location and then move on to the next one. You may opt to stay and enjoy the venue (Your 1st drink is on me and the theater tickets are paid for as well.) Teamwork is encouraged although not mandatory. The object is to have fun discovering Escondido’s hidden art treasures.

You will receive the link to the first clue online, and after your spot is reserved. All the other clues will be found in one of the hidden treasures in Escondido. You can take part in as many hunts as you like. They all start Saturday evening at 4:00 PM online, where you will be given your first clue for the night.

A donation will be made in your name after you pay for your entry to the Southern Sudanese Community Center of San Diego. Thank you for your participation. Good luck and have fun!

Your ticket gives you admission to hidden art treasures, admission to a few of the locations like the theater, and a glass of wine (if you are 21 years old.)  You will receive your 1st clue at the start of the event on Saturday night at 4:00 PM.

This is a tour stop for Hunt For Art Events. FYI… There is the 70th Annual Escondido Jaycees Christmas Parade, Sat, Dec 10, 2022, 4:00 PM on West Grand Avenue, therefore you’ll not be available for your online clue.

This is your clue: You’ll be Blown Away at this stop. You can book a class with a piece of glass or simply display your class working with glass.

The Hunt For Art Events:

There are many hidden art treasures in Escondido to be found, and we will discover them All. The treasure hunt/scavenger hunt gives you clues to finding them. But just to be fair, we will all leave at the same time. You will not be given your clue’s location this time on Saturday evening at 4:00 PM online, therefore HERE IT IS!

Each week we discovered hidden treasures about Escondido art and the artist that make it. Each hunt will take somewhere between 2 to 4 hours depending on you and your team. You may choose to quickly move on to the next venue, or you may want to simply stay awhile and enjoy the art and venue at that location before moving on.

You may still opt to stay and enjoy the venue (Your 1st drink and dinner are on me at one of the venues on the tour, and the theater tickets are paid for as well when a show is on the tour.) Teamwork is encouraged, although not mandatory. The object is to have fun discovering Escondido’s hidden art treasures.

You will not this time receive the link to the clues online. You can take part in as many hunts as you like because each week is different.

A donation will be made in your name after you pay for your entry to benefit the Southern Sudanese Community Center of San Diego. Thank you for your participation. By the way, if you cannot join consider donating your ticket. Simply register for one or all of the events, then contact me on the Saturdays you will not attend, and I will find someone who can join us in your place.

Good luck and have fun! Your ticket gives you admission to the hidden art treasures event, admission to a few of the location’s venues like the theater, and a drink (if you are 21 years old for adult beverages,) or dinner when offered for the night’s event schedule.
