Three lakecity leaders have put their artistic talents on the line for charity.

Dr. Glen Fedor, School District 27 Superintendent of Schools Mark Thiessen, and Willie Dye, aka Arty the Art Walker each painted a self portrait.

These portraits are on display at Hub Barton International during the 2014 Art Walk and Sale.

These “spectacular paintings” as Dye calls them, are on display during Artwalk at Hub Barton Insurance and are for sale by silent auction bid.

The final bidder on each painting when the art walk wraps up on Saturday, Sept. 6 will be the big winner of the painting.

All funds raised by this auction will go toward springing Arty from jail and subsequently to the Cops for Cancer fundraiser.

Cops for Cancer has a warrant for Arty’s arrest. The charge is “impersonating an artist.”

It is rumoured that some people are raising money to keep Arty in jail, so please help Arty get out.

Arty would like to thank Bruce Charbonneau for training these budding portrait artists.
