It sounds like the centre wasn't releasing the original artwork though. If they had just made copies of a curated portfolio available for a reasonable price it would've been a great fundraiser, but instead they were holding the originals hostage for $2200 AUD if I understand correctly.

Maybe, I read it as some of the voluminous amount of art made by the kindergarten kids(much of which is typically chucked st the end of the year) was curated together into a portfolio with some photos. The article doesn't make it clear.

If I'm right it's still a dumb fundraiser but pretty innocuous.
