ArtVenture “Hiking With the Arts in Mind” is currently seeking artists to create the art that will be hidden on hiking trails in NK as well as along historic Wickford’s walking tour. Please go to www.nkartscouncil.org for more details.
On the North Kingstown Arts Council website, there is a tab for ArtVenture. Inside this page are photos of last year’s event, information on how to get involved, and a video with ABC 6 news reporter Chelsea Priest reporting on the event. Click below to see the video:

This is a self-guided experience but all trails will have some pink trail signs. Art will never be buried or hidden more than ~3 feet off the trail, but you will need to look high, medium, and low. Look for unique natural features, as this might be where items will be hidden! We won’t hide in poison ivy but please dress for hiking, long pants encouraged, and wear mosquito and tick spray. We will be hiding art at least 3 times during the 16 day ArtVenture. A picture of the art that cannot withstand the elements will be hidden in a clear jar. The actual art can be picked up at the ‘Meet your Artist’ reception, Aug. 5, 7-9 pm, Wickford Art Association, 36 Beach St. Please RSVP for the reception nancy.sherman52@gmail.com
