Finders Keepers is an art exhibition featuring the work of 15 local artists who use found materials in their practice. Held at the DC Commision on the Arts and Humanities gallery in April 2026, the exhibit will contain artist-made, found-object pieces that turn ‘trash’ into ‘art’. The artists take discarded materials from the waste stream and remake them, creating work that centers humanity, interconnection, and responsibility.
