Art & Found Day
March 12, 2024 - Webster Arts will hide artwork across Webster Groves for our community to find and take home!
Art & Found Day is returning to Webster Groves on March 12! This international arts event is an opportunity for artists and community to meet in a fun, scavenger-hunt style activity. Webster Arts will be hiding more than fifty pieces of artwork this year. All pieces will be clearly marked and hidden inside of the Webster Groves city limit, in safe, public locations (we don't think you should have to trespass for good art!). Artwork will be available for finding starting at 2pm on March 12.
Webster Arts participation in Art & Found Day is sponsored by Keller Williams realtor Becky Blair! Thank you, Becky, for helping Webster Arts bring art to life in Webster Groves!
“The concept of Art and Found was created 7 years ago by Toronto artist Courtney Senior. Before she found her footing in the world of selling art, Courtney decided to find loving homes for her work by giving it away for free. She would package up her original artworks and leave them around different neighbourhoods in Toronto for people to find. Each artwork came with a note on the outside that read “Hello, I’m an original abstract painting in need of a loving home. FREE ART #ArtandFound.”
With the hashtag and personalized note on the inside, dozens of residents have contacted Courtney over the years sharing their excitement and gratitude for their new piece of artwork. Realizing the impact this had on the community and the keen interest of fellow artists to join in this initiative, Art and Found Day was born.”
