COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
ART in AUBURN Public Art Scavenger Hunt!
This November, enjoy getting outside and discovering Auburn’s incredible Public Art Collection!
Use this gameboard to find and take pictures with Auburn public artworks and complete a line of “public art BINGO!” Take pictures of yourself, friends, or family with the artworks in one BINGO line, or more, then email Arts Coordinator Allison Hyde, OR share in the comments of our Art in Auburn Scavenger Hunt post on Facebook! The locations of most artworks can be found on pages of the City of Auburn’s arts website.
Photos of the participants with the most artworks found and BINGO line completed will be featured in the upcoming Auburn Magazine!
The City of Auburn’s Bravo Performing Arts series presents the first (and hopefully last) Best of the Northwest Tribute Bands Quarantine Contest, featuring a variety of tribute bands from around the area and few a little farther away.
You, the public, get the opportunity to enjoy the performances and then vote to decide which band will be awarded the coveted People’s Choice Trophy and a performance contract for an upcoming show at the Auburn Ave Theater.
Voting will be opened until November 23rd. After voting ends, the top 10 will be announced and move onto the finals. The Finals voting will start December 1st and end on December 11th, with the Winner being announced on December 12th.
And now let's meet the competing bands......
After you have viewed the band, make sure you VOTE for your favorite!

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK
Artist: Louise McDowell
Title: The Gardener
Medium: Bronze

"The Gardener" is a bit meditative as she digs into the earth to plant seeds for a future bounty. She radiates a sense of hope for tomorrow's harvest and a determination to make it happen.
This sculpture is now on display as a part of Auburn's 2020-21 Downtown Sculpture Gallery program. This sculpture, as well as 10 others, will be on view for the next year! Go to our website to vote for your favorite sculpture for this year's People's Choice Award!
