CURRENT ROLLIN EXHIBIT
Looking back over 10 years with the Alberni Valley News is the current art exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre. This exhibit, a photographic retrospective takes you on a great trip down memory lane. Showcasing award-winning photographs, day to day people and many events that have taken place in the Valley. This exhibit is unique, as it covers the last 10 years in photographs and runs until August 25. Stop by, as you may find yourself captured in any of these photographs.
NEXT CHILDREN’S ART CAMP
Fossils, volcanoes and dinosaurs, Oh my! Travel back in time when monsters roamed the earth and discover ancient plants, erupting volcanoes, and maybe even a dinosaur egg. Join us for a jam-packed week creating an exploding volcano, building a dinosaur and create your own dinosaur terrarium. Our summer art programs are catered to children aged seven to 12 years old. Register today at the Rollin Art Centre. Weekly camps are $50.
The Rollin Art Centre is looking for a few dedicated gardeners who would be interested in creating a garden committee for our community gardens. We are in desperate need of help with weekly, monthly or season work. No meetings necessary, just a love of gardening and a willingness to follow a basic gardening plan.
If you are interested or know someone who is, please contact us at the Rollin Art Centre for more information at 250.724.3412.
