About
fINdings Art Center
fINdings celebrates and supports the Doers, Dreamers and Makers impacting our Community.
Founded in 2005 by Annette Ciketic
flNdings Art Center is a 501 c3 non-profit organization created by Annette Ciketic in 2005. The name "flNdings" was inspired by the artist Corita Kent's practice of using viewfinders as a tool in arts education, and the "IN" of the art center's name and logo is from one of Kent's serigraphs from 1964.
flNdings began as a conversation between four former students of Corita Kent, and grew to become a small storefront and art gallery located adjacent to the historic Warner Grand Theater in downtown San Pedro. At this location, guided by the leadership of its founder, Annette Ciketic, until her passing in March, 2024, flNdings hosted numerous art exhibitions, educational workshops, and fund-raisers for altruistic causes.
As of 2025 flNdings is no longer attached to one physical location, instead becoming a nomadic art center that partners with local businesses and arts organizations to host mobile "pop-up" exhibitions and educational events.

Our Connection to Corita
fINdings Art Center draws inspiration from the teaching philosophy of artist and educator Corita Kent, whose approach to art emphasized curiosity, experimentation, and the creative spirit within everyone.
