About this Article

Elgin artist Diane Keys loves discarded writing — detailed grocery lists left behind at the store, innocent love notes mistakenly dropped on the ground. That, and a lot more, is the kind of stuff that Keys turns into “Trashpo” (from the words “trash” and “poetry”), her latest exhibit on display at Elgin city hall, which includes materials from artists from 26 countries.
