Join us in the garden and terrace on Sunday, June 25 from 1-4 p.m., to meet fellow artists. Share ideas and bring any current artwork you would like to share. No formal speeches, just an afternoon of gathering. Help support the arts by attending this afternoon celebrating the artists.

CURRENT ART EXHIBIT

The Community Arts Council presents “Baskets and Keepsakes; Nuu Chah Nulth Basketry,” a personal collection of Hugh Braker. You won’t want to miss this exhibit, featuring many beautiful examples of baskets, trinkets and other pieces from this collection. On now at the Rollin Art Centre until June 28.

SUMMER ART PROGRAMS

The Rollin Art Centre invites children aged 7-12 to participate in our summer art programs. Camps run every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday beginning from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (for ages 7-9) and 1-3:30 p.m. (ages 10-12), and features a new theme each week. These summer art programs promise a creative outlet children need and enjoy that integrates art with learning. At each camp the children will fabricate stimulating artwork and foster friendships with peers. Our first camp begins July 4 and is titled Super Hero’s Unite.
