Time to renew memberships
This is a reminder to all current Community Arts Council members, and everyone else who would like to help support the Community Arts Council, that all memberships will now be renewed in January. This annual membership date will be for everyone.
If you have not yet renewed your membership for the 2015 season, pop by the Rollin Art Centre today. The cost is only $17 for adults, $12 for seniors and $22 for a family.
As we are a non-profit organization we rely on the generous support of art patrons like you. So please, help support the Community Arts Council today so we can help support local artists tomorrow.
Present Images show extended
We are very fortunate to have the current art exhibit held over until Feb. 7. “Present Images” is the title of the current Rollin Art Centre’s art exhibit of 14 painters. So if you didn’t get an opportunity to stop by the gallery, you’re in luck. Stop by today for a chance to own one of these terrific pieces of art.

Alberni Valley artist Cynthia Bonesky is back, teaching the basics of learning how to draw using various techniques such as contour drawing, shading, negative drawing and much more.
