SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Don’t miss an exciting opportunity to showcase your artwork at the Rollin Art Centre in 2022.
The Community Arts Council is accepting applications from all visual artists and/or artist groups to exhibit their work in our Fine Arts Gallery during the 2022 calendar year.
Application forms are available at the Rollin Art Centre or you can download an application at www.alberniarts.com. The deadline is April 30, 2021.
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.
LAST CHANCE
The current exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre is on display until March 27.
The exhibit features some special pieces from the Community Arts Council’s own permanent collection. Many of the pieces were donated to the arts council back in 1995 by Robert Aller—a collection that 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.
