The Great Orb Hunt begins today, Aug. 28! Come to LeRoy Oakes FP, or Fine Line Creative Arts Center's prairie path and search high and low for hand-crafted glass and ceramic orbs. "Every orb is a unique piece of art," says Executive Director Lynn Caldwell of Fine Line Creative Arts Center. "If you find an orb, it's yours to keep. However, we kindly request that each finder keeps only one orb. If you find additional orbs, please leave them in the wild for another seeker to find."

All orbs are stamped and numbered. If you find an orb, please scan the QR code on it and register it so we know it has been found. Feel free to share your findings on social media by tagging us and@FineLineCreativeArtsCenter.
