Finders Keepers

Finders Keepers is an art exhibition at Eye Street Gallery that transforms discarded objects into thought-provoking works, featuring 15 local artists who incorporate found materials into their practice. Curated by founddc in partnership with the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the show highlights the creative potential of everyday waste, turning “trash” into “art.” Among the pieces on view is Luis Del Valle’s “The Sheetrock Worker.” The exhibition opens Saturday, April 25, 2026, with a special Finders Walk: curators lead a neighborhood walkabout and discussion about creative uses of discarded objects starting at the gallery. Additional programming includes Earth Day Performances on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the same venue, where performers use found objects as instruments or inspiration for an evening of celebration.
