I’ve revised rule #3 of the #publicartfinder game to only require posting your art find to your Strava because some of you have been unable to post to the Forum since the migration to a new platform. Posting your photo to the Forum is nice-to-do but optional.
How to play #PublicArtFinder (revised):
1. RIDE your bike AT LEAST 10 MILES, and on that ride, discover any art form (loosely defined: you know it when you see it) readily accessible to the general public. An art find on a ride that’s less than 10 miles does not count, even if you ride multiple rides in a day totaling 10 miles or more.
2. Only 1 art find per day will be counted. (This differs from Freezing Saddles 2023’s game when a player could submit 1 art find per 10-mile ride with multiple 10 mile rides per day.)
3. Share your art find via posting 1 photo to your Strava for the ride on which you discovered it. Posting also to the Forum is nice to do (easy to see all the photos in the contest in one place) but OPTIONAL.
4. All, or some part, of your bike must be in your photo or it will not count!
5. Post your photo ON THE DAY OF THE RIDE.
6. Use HASHTAG #publicartfinder (not CaSe SeNsItIvE) in your Strava Ride title so that it will appear on the FS2024 #publicartfinder leader board, which you can find here:
https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/publicartfinder
I will sweep this leader board for data periodically to feed the official #publicartfinder scorecard found here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ob3HlhU34D4xrtbttsDIAu2knT8MOIZQ2EcAr6s5YF0/edit#gid=1975917300
7. Friends of FS2024 are welcome to post, but only registered participants can win prizes.
8. Follow me on Strava (Karen Hass, https://www.strava.com/athletes/38633292) so I can follow you back and verify that your #publicartfinder rides meet all the rules.The location of your art find is nice to include with the photo so that others may find it too. A description of the art (artist, medium, circumstances for it’s creation, etc.) is also nice.
One point will be awarded for each entry that meets all the criteria above. Entries will be judged by some faceless cabal, and may be awarded additional points based on subjective criteria such as use of creative objects (like your bike interacting with your art find), composition, light, artistic flair, witty captions, great stories, # of quality submissions, # likes/kudos/dislikes, etc. In the event of a tie, efficacy rules: most art discoveries/least # of miles will win.
Now go find some public art!

3/9/24
Bikenetic mural. Other people have already posted it but it’s my first time
and isn’t it so pretty?
3/9/24 – ORIGINAL FARVER SCHOOL BELL
THE FARVER SCHOOL WAS BUILT ABOUT 1868.
The school was named in honor of Abraham Farver.
Last class was held May 1967.
The teacher was Amos Hostetler.
School Superintendent was William C. Gohl.
Principal was John Jay Hostetler.
The Bell had been in the care of the John Jay Hostetler Family and was returned to the Farver School Library in 2002.
3/9/24 Street art at the ES which has used semi-permanent paint. Figure it counts because an installation is usually more fleeting.
3/10- I forgot to shoot this with my bike in it, so it’s now a public health announcement. March is colorectal cancer awareness month. If you’re 45+ years old, get screened!
3/10/2024 – A small mural and painted benches tucked out of the way on the outside of the building at Bladensburg Waterfront Park (the one with the bathrooms just off the trail)
