So You Want to be a Hider

Find Me Art has developed, and will continue to evolve, these guidelines to best protect the Artist, the Artwork, the Hiders, the Finders, the community, and the environment. Our guidelines are created to maximize the experience and the value that each participant gets from their respective participation, while balancing and protecting the needs, safety and rights of all participants, communities, landowners and managers, and the environment.

What's a Hider?

Not an artist? No worries at all. And not thrilled about the challenge of the hunt, but you really want to participate? Well, read on because we might have something good instore. You can be a Hider! There are many Artists who are tied to their studios, working very long days trying to fill orders or get ready for shows or gallery placements. But the Artists have pieces that they want to gift forward, just no time to hide them or write the Clues. That's where a volunteer Hider comes in: Hiders coordinate with the Artist to pick up the artwork, select the best hiding place(s), place the artwork, take a pic for the Artist to log, and then post the Clue(s) on the Clues Board.

Find Me Art Hiders...

• Are volunteers because they want to be involved, they want to support the arts, or they want to help build the connections in their communities.
• Do not get paid or reimbursed for any expenses incurred during their involvement with Find Me Art.
• Follow our Guidelines to Hiding as well as our Guidelines for Clues just like the Artists do.
• Register to use our Clues Board (username, email address, city and state) in order to post Clues. (That same information will be added to our Volunteer Hiders List so that local Artist(s) who need some help in hiding and posting Clues have a way of contacting available Hiders.
• Will coordinate getting the artwork from the artist.
• Will consider and select great hiding locations.
• Will photograph the artwork and send the photo and location to the Artist as proof of placement.
• Will post the Clue(s).
• Will keep secret any information about the hidden artwork. As with the Artists, they will not disclose any additional or subsequent details as to the artwork or its location other than what is posted on the Clues Board.

Hiders are a critical link in our success! In advance, we thank them for their participation and support of our mission.
