Treasure Hunt/Art tour.
On the river bank from Hoo Marina to Lower Upnor. A collection of art works by students and alumni University of Kent will be displayed along the river bank serving as clues for a treasure hunt for children, families, schools and any other members of the community... the clues will lead to a final piece that will also be a prize. There will be a map of the location of art works given at the
starting point of the tour. Most of the art works will be left outdoor during the high tide in order to observe the changing environment and the relationship they will create with the landscape. The treasure hunt will also be the start of the main art exhibition. Open Event
