The rustle of silk in a graveyard, a cryptic puzzle leading you through the trees, and the thrill of edging out your fellow sleuths as you search for treasure among the moss-covered tombs. It’s a fantasy plucked straight from the pages of an Agatha Christie novel or perhaps the cross-hatched dreamscapes of an Edward Gorey illustration. And soon, just before the summer solstice, you too can take part.On Sunday, June 11, 4:30 – 7:00pm, join the Artists Archives for The Egg and The Obelisk, a scavenger hunt fundraiser to be held on the grounds of the museum’s very quiet neighbors – historic Lake View Cemetery.
Each ticket-holding detective will be given a secret clue to track down one of over 65 ostrich eggs, hand-painted by some of the region’s premiere artists including Margaret Arthur, Lawrence Baker, Harriet Ballard, Karen D. Beckwith, Paula Blackman, Luanne Bole-Becker, Augusto Bordelois, Davon Brantley, Lauren Brantley, Denise Buckley, Stephen Calhoun, Jeffry Chiplis, Ryn Clarke, Donna Coleman, Bonnie Dolin, Gary Dumm, Laura Dumm, Patty Flauto, Jim George, Adrian Hardin, Don Harvey, Lee Heinen, Marti Higgins, Michael W.
