FOUND Earth Day Exhibit — April 22, 2023
The FOUND project was centered around bringing people together in an artistic experience that benefits and celebrates the community’s shared spaces. Finding new ways of looking at items the people discard and encouraging stewardship of their neighborhoods, cities, and world was intrinsic in the workshops and culminated in the exhibitions, the first of which was appropriately on Earth Day 2023. The day included speakers from Eckington Parks and Arts, a scientist who spoke about the origins of Earth Day, and commissioners from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the grant-giving organization that funded the project.
