SAAC Art Hunt
<h3>How the Art Hunt Works</h3>
<p>Throughout October, participants will set off on a creative journey across Sangamon and Menard counties to solve riddles and follow clues that lead to public art sites and local landmarks.</p>
<p>At each stop, hunters will:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Take a photo</strong> of themselves with the artwork or on location.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Post the photo</strong> to Facebook or Instagram using <strong>#SAACArtHunt</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>We encourage you to tag the Springfield Area Arts Council’s page.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You may also add your photo to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/1Jd3iWYDZ3/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Facebook Event Page</a> in the discussion tab.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Each photo counts as an entry into weekly prize drawings.</p>
