“Remember treasure hunts? Here’s one that’s good for adults, families and people of all ages.”

Those are the words of the Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs office regarding the Public Art Treasure Caches they have hidden near pieces of public art all around Orange County. These Caches have been hidden in an effort to let more citizens experience public art through an exciting and adventurous journey around Orange County.

If you missed out on the Great Public Art Challenge, here’s your chance to search out some of Central Florida’s most interesting artwork.

Here’s how it works:
1. If you’d like, get a small journal to stamp with the stamp found in each Public Art Cache. You can also get a rubber stamp of your own to stamp the journal in the Cache found at each site. While there should be a pen and an inkpad in each Cache along with the journal, you might want to bring your own pen and inkpad as backup.

2. Print out the clues from the OCA&CA website for directions to where the Public Art Caches are hidden.

3. Follow the clues to find a Cache.

4. The stamp in the Cache represents that art piece. Stamp your findings in your personal journal, documenting the date, location and art piece. Using your own stamp (or personal drawing), mark the journal in the Cache and leave your name, date, and any other information you would like.

5. Place the Cache back exactly where you found it and make sure it is well hidden for the next hunter.
