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=3588418526. 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 ;-

Think I forgot to post this here but it’s in my 3/14/2023 Strava!
Girl Scout Troop 1682 painted these flowers on a storage shed behind Terraset Elementary School, 11411 Ridge Heights Rd, Reston. I’ll bet I’ve ridden by this a dozen times and only notified it today.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From the parking lot for the Capital One at 4825 Cordell Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814. The parking lot is actually behind the bank on Rugby Avenue.

This is found at the Palisades in Bethesda, and is called, “Three Muses and Apollo.” I’m not sure where Apollo is, since there are a total of three figures, but I didn’t come up with the name.

This lengthy mural is painted on walls that surround a construction staging lot just west of the Halley Rise building which has a new Wegmans grocery store with condos on the floors above. This area has been designated “The Farm at Halley Rise” Some fruit trees are planted in front of the mural, as well as some garden plots containing native plants. See the photo of one of the signs that explain the concept behind this public space. Located on Hopper St in Reston, west of Reston Pkwy and north of Sunrise Valley Dr.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
