Easter & Passover  

Missio Dei Lincoln Square

Missio Dei is a non-denominational church in Lincoln Square, is collaborating with several local artists to hide art around the Lincoln Square area in various participating businesses the week of April 10 through 17th as part of an art scavenger hunt.

Missio Dei Lincoln Square will post photo clues on their Instagram and Facebook page daily throughout the week. The hunt will end April 17th. If you find a piece of art,  don’t be shy – tag yourself and your art! The artists who donate love to see the new homes their work are going towards, so don’t hesitate and let’s show our Chicago artists some love.

Post your findings using hashtag #EasterArtHuntChicago, there will be a raffle and a gift card to a local business of $100 in value given to the winner of the raffle. Stay informed at @MDLincolnSquare or hashtag #EasterArtHuntChicago.
