As part of the Portsmouth 100 celebrations, local artist My Dog Sighs is running another city wide treasure hunt.

He will create many pieces of art to be hidden around the city for people to find over the Easter weekend.

But he needs help. Early morning hiders. During the day spotters. During the day pop up shop.

Job info - My Dog Sighs £100,000 Free Art Treasure Hunt - Hiders & Spotters Needed

This Easter I’m hiding £100,000 of free art across Portsmouth — and I need a brilliant team of trusted Hiders and Spotters to help make the magic happen.

The treasure hunt runs on: Good Friday (3 April) Saturday 4 April Easter Sunday (5 April)

Hiders (early birds)

Hiders will start early (suggested 6am) to place small artworks in a defined area of the city before the hunt begins. You should be finished by 8.30am

You will need to:

· Be discreet (we know people try to follow hiders!)

· Hide items safely and sensibly in appropriate public places

· Use a variety of heights (some for children to spot, some for adults)

· Avoid anywhere risky, private, or disruptive

· Take closely cropped photos to be used later as clues

You’ll be creating the moments of discovery that make this event special.

Spotters (for those who can’t do a 6am start)

Spotters will be assigned an area to look out for people proudly wearing their love of My Dog Sighs. If you see someone repping the art, you’ll surprise them with a reward. Spotters will be needed between 9.30am(ish) and 2.30pm(ish)

You’ll need to:

· Be friendly and approachable

· Answer any questions about the event

Pop up shop

We will be running a pop up shop at the independent lifeguards station next to The Briny on the seafront. We will have people to take payments but will need help moving stock from the stock room, checking if we have particular t-shirts in a specific size etc. We are also supporting the lifeguards to raise money for the good work they do so we need people to help them sell their merchandise, sign people up as supporters etc. Finally if we have enough support we'd love to have some friendly people on The Prom making sure that people know there is a pop up shop.
