From October 28 to November 4, WVU students will have the opportunity to win the vinyl record of their choice from Barnes & Noble's online selection upon completion of a scavenger hunt hosted by the WVU Arts Alliance for artwork displayed across the Downtown, Evansdale, and Health Sciences campuses.
The event kickoff is on October the 28th at 5pm at E. Moore Hall - refreshments, meal tickets and scavenger hunt cards will be provided. Throughout the hunt, students will be required to take a selfie with each piece of artwork they find, ultimately sending all of the pictures to Sabrina Cave to be entered for the prize drawing. Additionally, students have the opportunity to be featured on the SGA Instagram page by using the hashtag #ArtsAllianceScavengerHunt. If students are unable to make it to the kickoff, please email Sabrina Cave. We hope you all will join us for this exciting event and see that art is truly everywhere at WVU.
