Part-geocache, part-hidden exhibit, part-library scavenger hunt, ARTCACHE gives participants an opportunity not only to participate in this interactive exhibit, but also to have some fun, learn more about the library, and brush up on their research and problem-solving skills.
The search takes participants through highlights of Chicago art, culture, and history (as well as all five floors of the Columbia College Library) and eventually leads them to the hidden cache, a hidden-in-plain-sight collection of contributed artwork. For both artists and non-artists, the cache offers participants an opportunity to sign the logbook, to peruse the items within the cache and take a souvenir piece — as well as contribute their own small piece to the collection, if desired.
This Columbia College library program is part-geocache, part-hidden exhibit, part-library scavenger hunt.
