Days with Arts passes available
Days With the Arts is the Community Arts Council’s biennial studio tour of the Alberni Valley and it’s coming up quickly: April 25–26 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
More than 20 studios and public venues will feature 50 local artists doing their thing. A wrist band for the whole weekend is just $20 and gets you entry into the sites as well as some extras.
A single day wrist band sells for $15. Both are available at the Rollin Art Centre and Echo Centre.
In the meantime, the Coulson building at Third Avenue and Mar features a sneak peek of some of the artists in its display windows.
