The Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (CHAW) will host its fourth annual Art & Go Seek, a fun scavenger hunt and fundraising event for children and adults, Saturday, April 9, 2011, from 8:30am to 1:30pm. Art & Go Seek is an interactive scavenger hunt that sends teams of two to six people racing around Capitol Hill searching for answers to questions about art, history, and notorious people and places in the neighborhood. Wacky hands-on art challenges will be featured along the course, and the team with the most points at the end of the hunt wins a prize. Proceeds from Art & Go Seek support CHAW’s tuition assistance and outreach programs.
“We are so excited to once again host this family-friendly community arts event,” said Joey Coleman, President of CHAW’s Board of Directors. “Art & Go Seek provides a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the vibrant Hill neighborhood through an artistic lens, and truly embodies CHAW’s mission of building community through the arts.”
Highlights of Art & Go Seek include a light breakfast, the scavenger hunt, and an after-pARTy at CHAW with lunch and entertainment. Entry fees for adults are $25 per person if registered by March 25, 2011 and $40 after March 29, 2011. Young adults, ages 13-18, are $10 per person and children 12 and under are free. There is a special track for families with young children who want to participate. To register for Art & Go Seek, call (202) 547-6839 or email victor@chaw.org. Early registrants receive bonus points and opportunities to rack up additional points before the hunt begins!
Since 1972, the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (CHAW) has provided arts education to thousands of children and adults in the Washington region, especially from the greater Capitol Hill area. Through classes, performances, and exhibitions in visual and performing arts, CHAW brings together diverse segments of the population to connect through the transforming power of creativity. CHAW offers a tuition assistance program and flexible payment plans. CHAW is funded in part by the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, an agency supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. CHAW is also a featured charity in the 2010-2011 Catalogue for Philanthropy.
