Game of Shrooms is an international art holiday founded by artist ‘Daniel ‘Attaboy’ Seifert’ in 2019, and this year I am delighted to be taking part as an artist and an art hunter!
The idea is that artists hide mushroom related art works for people to find and keep. They will be in place for one day only, this year it take places on Saturday 10th June. There are artists participating all over the world and a few of us in Dublin too. Clues of the art’s whereabouts will be posted on the artist’s social media page, and links and a map can be found on the official site here: https://yumfactory.com/gameofshrooms/
I’m really looking forward to to taking part in this event, I will be hiding three paintings, two 7 x 9cm and one 15 cm square, depicting Scarlet elfcups (Sarcosypha sp), Scarletina Bolete (Neoboletus luridiformis) and a Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria), painted from my own photographs. This was my first endeavour into painting mushrooms, and it’s been a fun challenge!
I will be hiding these paintings in Merrion Square Park in Dublin City Centre. They will be hidden by 12pm and clues will be posted on my Instagram here.
Let me know if you find any!
Mush love xx
