Our current art exhibit is a colourful showcase of photographs by Cara Baldwin and Kristi Dobson. This joint exhibit captures Port Alberni’s natural and manmade beauty, which comes to life in an eclectic display of images of the valley’s surroundings.
Baldwin and Dobson have spent the last few years taking an in-depth look at what surrounded them throughout their childhood in the hopes of inspiring others to re-examine the potential that lies within us all. This exhibit runs until Aug. 2.
Oil odyssey up next at Rollin
“A Glimpse into the Magical Odyssey of Oil Painting” is the title of our next art exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre’s Gallery, featuring local artist Vi McConnell. This exhibit will showcase McConnell’s original oil paintings beginning Aug. 5 and running until Sept. 13.
