Downtown Art Quest

In partnership with Escape New Haven and Somos Handcrafted Arepas

Join our Art Quest and win prizes! Downtown Art Quest is a FREE game provided by Escape New Haven and the Festival that will take you around the downtown area and showcase some of New Haven’s coolest art, institutions, and history. 

Here's how to play:

1. Start at the New Haven Free Public Library (133 Elm Street)

2. Look for a big sticker on the ground with the Festival's logo- scan the QR code! 

3. Then look around for a smaller, matching sticker- a blaze- nearby on a lamppost, sign, or similar. 

4. Keep following the trail of stickers. Some of them are easy to find, but for some you’ll need to look around very carefully!

5. Whenever you find a big sticker on the ground, scan the code to learn more about that particular site and why it’s important to New Haven.

6. Prizes? YES! If you complete the entire Quest from start to finish, you’ll get a code for FREE TEQUEÑOS from Somos Arepas!

7. Redeem your Tequeños by obtaining the code and providing it to Somos Arepas (63 Orange Street, open 11am-9pm both Friday and Saturday). 

In total, this Art Quest is about a mile of walking and should take about an hour to complete.

The Quest can be completed any time on Friday September 3rd or Saturday September 4th.
