Find Me Art --- https://www.findmeart.com
Find Me Art is a site where artists who hide their crafts post clues for users to find them. When an item is found, users post information, including optional pictures, and keep the item they found. The site has comprehensive guidelines for artists, hiders, and finders. Artists registered with the site can create free blogs. There is also a section where cities, or just communities, can flag sculptures and other artwork for users to visit, and users can rate the artwork with a thumbs up or thumbs down. The fully responsive site offers pulldown menus, contact form, adminstrative tools for all features, and integration with Google Maps.
