Visit Lake Street first launched the Lake Street Art Drop series in 2023 to encourage people to explore, discover local artists, and support small businesses along Lake Street!

The Lake Street Art Drop is a free monthly scavenger hunt featuring photo clues on social media and local artwork prizes.

Here’s how it works:

🎨 Follow us @VisitLakeStreet on Facebook and Instagram

🎨 Head to Midtown Global Market with your favorite people!

🎨 At 6:00 pm, we will start posting photo hints of the hiding places for these art treasures on our stories. Hints are staggered out every 5-10 minutes

🎨 Follow the hints to find the art! If you’re the first person to find it, it’s yours to keep. One piece of art per person, please.

🎨 Message us when you find a piece so we know it's been claimed. Plus - post your successful finds and tag us and the artist so we can celebrate with you!

🎨 We encourage you to come early or stay after the drop for dinner, drinks, or shopping at a local Lake Street business!

Save the dates for every First Thursday at 6:00 pm from April through October! We'll rotate locations all along the Lake Street corridor!
