Artists tiring of giving work for charity

Artists tiring of giving work for charity: "Some P.E.I. artists are complaining about being asked by people organizing charitable functions to donate their work for free.

'They want our art, but they don't want us to go to the function.'— Sculptor Carl Phillis

They say giving away art to be auctioned off at charitable events costs artists money, and often they don't even get a tax receipt."
