ALLER AND FRIENDS
The Community Arts Council is excited to present a new art exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre.
This magnificent exhibit features some pieces from the Community Arts Council’s permanent art collection, donated by Robert Aller. In 1995, Aller donated many works of art, including four of his own paintings to the arts council.
This collection began while he was enrolled at the Vancouver School of Art in 1946.
Don’t miss this opportunity to view the work of some of the most brilliant artists in Canadian history.
CALL TO ALL VISUAL ARTISTS
The Rollin Art Centre is now accepting applications from all visual artists and artist groups to exhibit their work in our Fine Arts Gallery during the 2022 calendar year.
Don’t miss this opportunity to have your own art exhibit or group exhibit. Application forms are available at the Rollin Art Centre or on our website. The deadline is April 30, 2021.
