I am hanging and sending postcards now. If you know of a good place to put up art hunt fliers please let me know. I just got the park permit from the Park & rec board who has approved the project. Now its time to upload the rest of the finished art, and start promoting the hunt. Please help spread the news |

Evan, Good to see you are going to be involved in the Minneapolis art hunt! There is only going to be one artwork per park. Good luck. |

one thing to remember with an art hunt this large I will be posting the visual clues in waves periodically through the day. 35 clues each day, one per artwork per day. Starting, as the website notes, with the hard clues and working towards the easy clues on sunday. I will also be updating every few hours which octopus have been reported found, so checking the website periodically during the weekend will help your chances. Since you will be seeing new clues, and learning which works to no longer search for. |

Visual clues are flooding the website. They will continue to appear until all 35 hard clues are posted. One artwork has been found at Lake Calhoun, congrats to Becky Harmon. |

the next update from me will happen right around 3pm, this update will simply update what has been found and where. then i take off to Loring Park to hopefully meet many of you from 4-6pm. and when I am done there, at 7pm I will reveal the parks of each of the remaining octopi, which along with the last clue should be enough to discover all hidden art. for those that cannot pick up prizes at Loring Park today, please email me and we can coordinate how to pick up your prize. |

thanks to everyone who joined the hunt there are still a few unfound or unclaimed octopi out there. however, i suspect most of them are gone. if anyone has found octopi missing from their hidden location please let me know so I can update the website and keep people from going out to look for an already found artwork. Given the success of some of you (who found multiple locations of artwork a few minutes too late) I am suprised any artworks are left. Steven Zaun was smart and grabbed three friends and each one found an artwork since sunday. If you enjoyed the hunt and would like me to perform another one in the future, please let the media know, WCCO, Star Tribune (who didnt cover the event), City Pages (who did), Sun Sailor, and any other news media you use. The hardest part of having one of these art hunts is convincing the media that people will want to be involved. So any help in this regard would be much appreicated. Make sure to bookmark my website and check back often for news of more art hunts in Minnesota and across America. William |

So, I just went looking for the Mississipi park octopus. I assume that is North Mississippi Park is the park as "Mississippi Park" isn't found on maps. Am I to assume that it was found but not confirmed? |

posted 10/23/08 5:29 AM
tucker, yes, you are right. I forgot to add unclaimed to the last remainging few. I am doing that now. I'm spending these few days mailing out all the prizes. and still waiting to hear from the few unclaimed artworks. how long should i give them? |
