SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
It’s your last chance to check out the current exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre.
The current art exhibit features local artist, Jim Sears. This is Jim’s first art exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre, titled Coastal Influences, so please show your support by stopping by the gallery. The gallery is located at the corner of Eighth Avenue and Argyle Street and is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday.
This exhibit mixes pen and ink with a watercolour wash and captures images from the West Coast Trail, Maritimes, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. It runs until April 30.
