Lost & found art & decorative items in Danville

Found sculptures in downtown Danville, VA

On a chilly morning around 7:45 a.m. today, I spotted a cluster of sculptures tucked behind a bench at Riverside Park, along the Dan River. They’re four abstract pieces, some wood and plaster, painted in muted blues and greens, and they look recently handled. I picked them up and brought them to the front desk at the Danville Community Center, hoping the owner might recognize them or the unique patina. It felt like finding a small island in the river of everyday life— a mix of surprise, responsibility, and relief that someone’s art could be returned.
