This summer, AURORA presents the return of Art Quest—a neighborhood scavenger hunt in which outstanding works by regional artists are awarded as prizes to participants.

The third Art Quest event will take place in South Dallas on Saturday, July 12, 2025, from 10 am until 3 pm at the African American Museum of Dallas (3536 Grand Ave, Dallas, TX 75210), with an artwork by Nitashia Johnson. Participants will have the opportunity to win a digital file of a video artwork by Johnson as well as an Epson Home Cinema projector.

Throughout the Art Quest event (10 am-3 pm), AURORA will host a community gathering event in partnership with the African American Museum of Dallas. In addition to the scavenger hunt, participants can join to network and learn more about key community organizations, businesses, and public spaces. The artwork prize will also be on public view at the event and the artist will be present.

How to Participate

Starting at 10 am, participants should join the community gathering event at the African American Museum of Dallas. *Event is free to the public.*

At 11:30 am, the first clue will be handed out onsite to start the quest.
At 11:40 am, it will also be shared on AURORA’s social media channels—Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn⁠—for participants not present at the event location.

Participants are invited to follow along, racing to find three clue cards at three different locations. The scavenger hunt ends when the first person with all three clues cards returns to the community gathering event at the African American Museum of Dallas.

The winner will take Nitashia Johnson’s artwork (along with a certificate of authenticity) and an Epson Home Cinema projector, and will have the opportunity to meet the artist.

After the winner is announced, all participants will be invited to gather once again to celebrate the winner, meet the creator of the artworks, and enjoy refreshments from food vendors.
