S Orange Ave & Village Plz, South Orange, NJ
As part of the Art & Business Connection, the Rebel Yarns artist group with the help of Seth Boyden Elementary school students, will have crocheted and hidden hundreds of orange butterflies in and around South Orange and Maplewood and their businesses. The Signs of Spring Butterfly Scavenger Hunt begins May 9, and participants must collect as many butterflies as they can until the day of the Studio Tour to win a prize. On June 2, participants must bring their orange butterfly collection to Spiotta Park in South Orange (on the corner of South Orange Avenue and Village Plaza) to record how many butterflies they each collected and to help the Rebel Yarns group hang them up around the park. Submission begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. Winners will be contacted and invited to the Studio Tour after party, which takes place at South Orange Performing Arts Center at 6 p.m. Attendees may be Studio Tour artists, sponsors and special guests.
