Art Heist in Port Perry!
Well, it seems The Latcham Centre has joined the ranks of the Louvre this weekend! During the Port Perry Artists’ Association’s “Life by the Lake” show and sale at the Latcham Centre, one piece of art decided to go home with an admirer — without stopping by the checkout first.
The missing masterpiece? A beautiful painting by the talented and much-admired young local artist Marie Moore, last seen on Sunday, October 19 (the painting, not Marie).
While we did our best to keep things as secure as the crown jewels, sometimes even the most charming small-town shows experience a little... creative enthusiasm. 😉
If you happen to have taken this piece home by mistake (perhaps caught up in the excitement?), we’d love to help you make things right — no questions asked! You can simply:
Contact the Port Perry Artists’ Association privately through email at [email protected], to return the painting or to arrange payment and make it official.
Let’s keep the art in the community — and not in someone’s secret vault! 💙
