Event is Free and Participants Can Win $500 or Other Cool Prizes!
After the success of last year’s debut, the original and free Public Art Reston Scavenger Hunt is back this summer. Participants of all ages are invited to discover Reston’s vibrant public art while competing for a chance to win exciting prizes. Every participant will receive a small prize, and five lucky winners will each receive a $500 gift card.
This is a fun summer activity to enjoy with kids, friends, family, or on a solo art hunt.
Participants can pick up a Scavenger Hunt card at several locations around Reston, including the Reston Community Centers at Hunters Woods and Lake Anne Plaza, the Reston Museum, and the Reston Art Gallery, or download one from the Public Art Reston website at publicartreston.org. Each card includes QR codes that reveal the locations of public artworks throughout the community. Participants must take a selfie with each artwork and post it on social media using the hashtag #PublicArtReston. Full instructions for entering and winning prizes are included on the Scavenger Hunt cards and online.
The Public Art Reston Scavenger Hunt is free to participate in and is not associated with any other local scavenger hunt programs or activities.
Important Dates to remember:
