CENTER FOR ARCHITECTURE SARASOTA ANNOUNCES ARCHITECTURAL SCAVENGER HUNT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

The CENTER FOR ARCHITECTURE SARASOTA will provide an Architectural Scavenger Hunt for young people as part of its third annual Modern Show fundraiser on May 5th from 9:30-11 at Center for Architecture Sarasota.

The Architectural Scavenger Hunt is the brainchild of Pine View 8th grader, Nora Kuhn. “I've always been interested in education and architecture and thought that it would be a wonderful idea to combine the two into one big project as a way to complete my Girl Scout Silver Award,” she said.

Nora brought the idea to Modern Show Committee Chair, Cheryl Gaddie and the committee decided to include it in the weekend fundraising event. Participants will receive a special prize when they return their completed forms to the Center following the hunt.

“We all fell in love with Nora,” said Tammy Hauser, CFAS Executive Director. “I wanted to hire her on the spot because she was so professionally committed to her project. Our mission is to encourage the public’s appreciation of innovative architecture, good design, and sensitive urban planning, so when a young person shows such passion and initiative, we all agreed that we needed to make this happen,” she added.

“For years, I've been interested in working with education and architecture, and the Silver Award gave me an opportunity to share my love with the community. I created my project to show others my passion and to prompt others like me to get involved in their community history,” said Nora.

The Modern Show on May 4-5th, 2018 is a weekend furniture show and sale and includes the Scavenger Hunt, Modern Cocktail party hosted by the Young Moderns, gallery talks, a trolley tour hosted by Carl Abbott, and a tour of the Guy Peterson-designed home of Karen and Jerry Agee on Siesta Key.

Center for Architecture Sarasota is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes the public’s understanding of and appreciation for innovative architecture, good design, and sensitive urban planning.
