The Community Arts Council’s annual giant book sale has been postponed due to COVID-19, but a new date will be announced in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
TEAS ON THE TERRACE
The Rollin Art Centre’s summer Teas on the Terrace events are currently being cancelled until further notice due to COVID-19. We are doing our part by staying safe and keeping our gallery closed to promote social distancing. Please stay tuned for more information when it comes available. Thank you for your continued support.
SOLSTICE ARTS FESTIVAL
The fifth annual Solstice Arts Festival has been cancelled for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please join us again in 2021, when we can celebrate a weekend of art, music and community. Please email admincac@shawcable.com, for more information.
GALLERY AND EVENTS
In response to the growing concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and for the safety of our communities, the Rollin Art Centre’s gallery will be closed until further notice.
This means that we will be postponing all performances and programs until further notice.
While we’re disappointed by this outcome, we recognize how fortunate we are to be able to continue working and planning future events. We’re also grateful to our artists and volunteers for being so willing to take precautions and supporting these difficult decisions.
If you have any questions or concerns about the gallery and programming —or ideas for ways that we could support your families in being creative during this period! —please reach out to our Arts Administrator, Melissa Martin, at admincac@shawcable.com.
