Are you up for the challenge?
There are hundreds of pieces of public art in Orange County alone. Do you know where to find them?

With clues and a map in hand, join us for this FREE event as we search for pieces of art in downtown Orlando. Participants will be given two hours to find seven pieces of art and complete creative tasks that will allow them to discover the world of art. Once all the tasks are completed and pieces are found, a drawing will be held with chances to win fantastic prizes.

Make sure to wear your most comfortable shoes; walking will be required during your journey.

This event is open to all ages.
