Enjoy a holiday experience at the Rollin Art Centre Gallery you and your families won’t want to miss. The Mistletoe Market is back and worth the visit to the transformed gallery and gardens at the Rollin Art Centre.
Come stroll the magically decorated gardens then pop upstairs to the gallery and visit Mistletoe Market. The market has something locally made for everyone on your list: pottery, jewellery, scarves, photographs, original paintings, glass works, quilted stockings, holiday cards, ornaments and wall hangings, to name a few.
Gallery hours are Tuesdays to Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The gallery is located at the corner of Argyle Street and Eighth Avenue. We are also wheelchair accessible.
