That gem of a painting found at a garage sale could be worth a fortune. Or it could just be dogs playing poker.
Find out the value of your favourite fine art pieces at the Arts Centre at Cedar Hill on Thursday by master appraiser John Russell.
Russell, who studied under Group of Seven member Arthur Lismer, has authenticated and appraised art and cultural pieces for 29 years, including for the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and the National Gallery of Canada.
The event is a fundraiser for the non-profit Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria.
Limited tickets are $20 and can be purchased at artroadshow.eventbrite.com or by calling 250-475-7123. The event is Thursday, May 24, 2 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., at the Cedar Hill Arts Centre, 3220 Cedar Hill Rd.
