SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Rollin Art Centre will be closed from Dec. 24 and will re-open Feb. 2.
NEXT ART EXHIBIT
The Community Arts Council is excited to present our next art exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre.
This magnificent exhibit will feature some pieces from the permanent art collection donated by Robert Aller. In 1995, Robert Aller donated many works of art, including four of his own paintings, to the Community Arts Council. This collection began while he was enrolled at the Vancouver School of Art in 1946.
Beginning Feb. 2, part of his collection will be on display for everyone to enjoy. Don’t miss this opportunity to view the work of some of the most brilliant artists in Canadian history. The exhibit begins Feb. 2 and runs until Feb. 27 .
MYSTERY BAG OF BOOKS
10 books in one bag for $20! By purchasing a bag of books, you will also be helping Rollin Art Centre during this difficult time.
Choose from mysteries, fiction, fantasy, romance, crafts, DIY books, travel, gardening, cooking, home improvements, pre-teen chapter books (e.g. Nancy Drew), children’s books and even puzzles.
Your support for the Rollin Art Centre is greatly needed and much appreciated.
