Art Thieves Strike Public Art Project in Calgary


Three pieces of original art have been stolen from the Battistella Pixel Public Art & Hoarding Project in Kensington, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The project was an original idea from my son Mac. Mac came home one day in the spring of 2012 and said, "Hey Dad, there's a fence up by the tracks, why don't you put up some art there?".

Here's the article in Metro.

If you have any info, please contact me or the Calgary Police Service.

These are the pics and the artists:
