Search and Find in the acorn gallery
Lakewood Arts invites artists to participate in Search & Find, an interactive exhibition that challenges viewers to look closely and discover hidden objects, symbols, characters, or visual surprises within each artwork.
Artists are encouraged to create work that rewards careful observation and invites viewers to engage in a visual treasure hunt. Hidden items may be subtle or playful, but they should be intentionally incorporated into the artwork as part of the exhibition theme.
Artwork must incorporate one or more hidden objects, symbols, characters, images, or visual surprises as part of the Search & Find theme.
Opening Reception / First Friday: November 6, 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Join us as we celebrate the opening of Search & Find and explore the hidden surprises created by participating artists.
Artwork Pick-Up: November 28 between 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Aaron Edward Bradley is a photographic artist and sculptor based in Lakewood, Colorado. Drawing inspiration from both the natural world and the spirit of exploration, his work reflects a deep appreciation for beauty, place, and the stories that connect us.
An avid cyclist, Bradley often discovers his artistic inspiration from a traveler's perspective, experiencing landscapes intimately and unhurriedly. The changing light, textures, and forms found along his journeys inform both his photography and sculptural work, inviting viewers to pause and engage more deeply with their surroundings.
For Bradley, creative expression is a source of peace, joy and connection. Whether through an image or a three-dimensional form, his work seeks to capture meaningful moments and share the stories found within them.
Aaron lives with his wife, Patty, and together they look forward to building their dream home in the mountains, where nature will continue to inspire both life and art.
