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.
