Published by Tynan Shevlin on March 29, 2011 in Art, Contest, Free Stuff, General News and On Campus. 0 Comments

Internationally-renowned woodcut mastermind Tom Huck currently has an exhibit in the Saint Louis University Museum of Art entitled “Tom Huck: Brutal Truths.” On Friday, April 1, the Museum will be hosting a scavenger hunt within the exhibit. Doors open at 5PM and the hunt begins at 6PM.

Participants will be given 40 minutes and 15 clues to locate 15 objects within Huck’s prints. That’s right, it’s time to put to use all the skills you acquired from looking at “Hidden Picture” games in old issues of Highlights at the dentist’s office.

Tom Huck himself will be there to judge the scavenger hunt, so make him proud. The first place prize is a free woodcutting class at Huck’s Evil Prints studio. Second place prize is an Evil Prints swag bag. Swag.

Complementary Anheuser-Busch products and Gus’s Pretzels will be served.

For more information, please call 314.977.2666.
