Free art hunt returns to Kingston for Art and Found Day

The day is designed to bring art into everyday spaces while creating a fun scavenger hunt for the public.

Residents in Kingston and beyond will have the chance to discover free artwork hidden around the community as part of the global Art and Found Day on Thursday.

The annual event invites artists to hide small pieces of artwork in public spaces for people to find and take home.

Lisa Ray Koenig of Groovy Cats Art says the day is designed to bring art into everyday spaces while creating a fun scavenger hunt for the public.

Ten local artists are currently expected to take part in the Kingston area. Artists are also taking part in Glenburnie, Gananoque, Amherstview, Odessa, Bath, Napanee, Roblin, and Newburgh.

People may find a variety of pieces including paintings, jewelry, photography and other handcrafted art.

Koenig usually shares clues and riddles on her social media after hiding her art in Napanee. We ask if she can give us a teaser for this year.

You can learn more and find a full list of participating artists at ArtAndFoundDay.com.
