Book launch and reception

The launch and reception is on Saturday Feb., 22, in the Rollin Art Centre Gallery from 1-3 p.m.
Mosaic artist at Rollin
Our current art exhibit at the Rollin Art centre is something different.
‘Intarsia’ by Bill Townsend is being showcased. ‘Intarsia’ translated means, “A mosaic in wood”.
Townsend’s exhibit runs until March 7.
No more jars or milk cartons
Thank you to everyone for the continuous support of your glass jars and milk cartons.
We had an over whelming response, and now we have enough for our next Celebration of Lights Festival, and the children will have their supplies.
Still on the look for books
The Rollin Art Centre is accepting gently used books, DVD’s, CD’s, and puzzles for their annual book sale, which takes place on May 10, 2014.
Please no National Geographic, Encyclopaedias, Reader’s Digest and textbooks.
Drop books at the Rollin Art Centre, inside, under the staircase in the wooden box.
This is one of the Community Arts Council’s biggest fundraisers.
Sealed bid art auction
The Rollin Art Centre will be having an art auction every month in the gallery.
Sealed bids will be taken with the successful bidder taking home a beautiful piece of donated art from local artists.
New pieces will be displayed each month so drop by the Rollin Art Centre Gallery today and place your bid. All proceeds will go toward the Rollin Art Centre and future events.
