Old-fashioned centennial tea
Tickets are still available for the Community Arts Council’s Centennial Fashion show, taking place Saturday, June 9 at 1 p.m. at the Rollin Art Centre.
This event is a fundraiser for the Rollin to provide funding for children’s art programs.
The fashion show will feature fashions designed and created by the centennial costume committee, and will take place outside on the terrace. Musical guests are Phil’s Harmonics.
In case of rain, the event will be moved inside to Char’s Landing, the old church on Argyle Street at Fourth Avenue.
Tickets are $10 each and are available at the Rollin Art Centre.
Centennial Inspirations
Centennial Inspirations is the title of the next exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre, showcasing 30 artists.
This exhibit is unique as each artist randomly selected a photograph, taken from 1912, in Port Alberni. These photographs were their inspirations and each artist’s unique style comes out in this exhibit.
The exhibit opens Saturday, June 16. Meet the artists from 1–3 p.m. at the gallery.
