Chicago Lost and Found is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to creative transformation. We are committed to rescuing discard and providing an artistic experience for the community.
Chicago Lost and Found focuses on helping the environment and building community through creativity. We rescue junk from dumpsters, alleys and through collection drives. Our creative team and volunteers repurpose the junk into stunning functional and decorative art. This art is sold through exclusive Chicago retail locations and our private studio. The profits, partnered with individual and corporate contributions, fund free art classes for people of all ages throughout Chicago. These classes are offered through schools, community centers, retirement communities and other outlets. Our goal is to provide an artistic experience that will inspire creative problem-solving skills and give all students a common bond to strengthen our community.
Art builds community.
