All throughout September the Shiny Sphere Search offers an adventurous way to find, and keep, one-of-a-kind works of art hidden in Golden.
Starting daily on September 1st, one gorgeous blown glass orb will be hidden somewhere in the city, with two glass orbs hidden on Saturdays and Sundays. Placement will happen at random times each day. Clues will be posted at @shinyspheresearch on Instagram with updates and follow-up clues as needed. Make sure you follow @shinyspheresearch so you can keep up with the latest updates.
About The Shiny Sphere Search
A small group of Golden volunteers runs the Shiny Sphere Search as a way to promote community and share their love of art and adventure. They had so much fun in the original Shiny Orb Hunt previously run by Foothills Art Center (FAC), that six years ago, when FAC decided not to renew the event, these Golden citizens stepped forward.
The orbs have once again been hand-crafted by The Furnace, a glassworks located on West Colfax. New this year, the Shiny Sphere Search is teaming up with Miner’s Alley Performing Arts Center for funding support, joining a grant from Golden Thriving Communities and the main volunteer organizer in covering the cost of the orbs.
The Shiny Sphere Search is also partnering with Golden History Tours on clue collaboration, adding a fun local-history twist to the hints posted throughout the month. Orbs can be found on public land anywhere within Golden city limits. Glass orbs will not be hidden on private property, a driving range, in the creek, the middle of an established trail, or other places that would be unsafe for hunters. Look for additional orbs on September 16, coinciding with the Golden Hour MashUp events.
If you find an orb, do your best to immediately post a video or photo selfie and tag @shinyspheresearch so other hunters know that orb has been found.
Happy Hunting!
