## Resource

Penticton Art Gallery’s reputation is in shambles after donating priceless local artworks—some by nationally recognized artists—to a thrift store, where they sold for as little as $11. Facing backlash from the art community, the gallery claims it was an administrative error, citing lack of proper documentation and storage, plus legal and financial hurdles that prevented returning pieces to donors or hosting a fundraiser. Former curator Paul Crawford criticizes the lack of transparency, warning it could damage other arts organizations. The gallery now vows to rebuild trust, admitting they inherited a mess and are actively seeking community input on how to handle the remaining art.
