Featured artist, Ariane Terez, is a local painter with a flair for the West Coast. Her exhibit, Facing West, captures Terez’s love of the West Coast with dramatic colour and movement. From sweeping cedars to rolling waves crashing against the rocks, this showcase is an art exhibit you won’t want to miss seeing. This art exhibit opened last week and will run through March 3.
Colouring books
We are very excited to present a project/fundraiser we have been working on for a few months: a community colouring book.

A huge thank you to all the artists who submitted to this project. Stop by the Rollin Art Centre for your copy.
