#PublicArtFinder FS2023 Pointless Prize

[Boomer Cycles]

How to play #PublicArtFinder:

1. RIDE your bike AT LEAST 10 MILES and share on this thread the discovery of any art form (loosely defined: you know it when you see it) that is readily accessible to the general public. Only one art form allowed per 10+mile ride. If you want to discover more art, then start a new ride on Strava and post another art find. Rides less than 10 miles do not count.

2. POST a picture [using Small resolution] on this thread of your art find with some or all of YOUR BIKE IN IT. Pics that don’t include your bike will not count. Adding your pic to your Strava ride helps w/ verification, but does not substitute for posting on this thread.

3. #Publicartfinder pics must be POSTED ON THE DAY of the ride just like #scavhunt.

4. Include the LOCATION of your art find so that others may find it, too.

5. Use HASHTAG #publicartfinder (not CaSe SeNsItIvE) in your Strava Ride title so that it will appear on the FS2023 #publicartfinder leaderboard https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/publicartfinder I will sweep this leaderboard
for data periodically to feed the official #publicartfinder scoreboard found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ob3HlhU34D4xrtbttsDIAu2knT8MOIZQ2EcAr6s5YF0/edit#gid=358841852

6. FOLLOW ME (Boomer Cycles) on Strava so that I can verify your #publicartfinder rides.

Entries will be judged by some faceless cabal on subjective criteria that may include use of creative objects (like your bike interacting w/ an art form), composition, light, artistic flair, witty captions, great stories, # of quality submissions, or # likes, kudos or dislikes, and bonus points. In the event of a tie, efficacy rules: most art discoveries/least amount of miles wins.

If you played #publicartfinder in years past, go find some New2U art!

Now go Ride and Seek some public art ;-

No identification plaque for this piece of sculpture in Great Lawn Park, located Vienna, VA on the south side of Tyco Rd, just past Boyd Point Way — and also just past where the bike lane on Tyco abruptly ends at a curb!

More murals and art from around downtown Moab UT (which is literally one street and a couple of traffic lights) while I was getting supplies for the next leg of my Utah National Parks & Monuments adventure
