Vancouver's not-for-profit arts education centre for children and youth is getting some high-profile support from movie stars.

Actors Anthony Hopkins, Julia Stiles, Alexander Ludwig, Aleks Paunovic, and Tahmoh Penikett posed for "unselfies" to promote donations to Arts Umbrella on Giving Tuesday.

“I’m very proud to be supporting Arts Umbrella and accessible arts education for BC’s kids,” said Penikett, who starred in Battlestar Galactica, in a news release. “When friends at Arts Umbrella reached out and asked for my support for #GivingTuesday, I didn’t hesitate.”

Arts Umbrella hopes to raise $7,000 for its free-of-charge outreach programs for at-risk youth.
