SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Rollin Art Centre is currently closed, but will re-open Feb. 2 with an exhibit featuring some pieces from its permanent collection.
In 1995, Robert Aller donated many works of art—including four of his own paintings—to the Community Arts Council. This collection began while he was enrolled at the Vancouver School of Art in 1946. Beginning Feb. 2, part of his collection will be on display for everyone to enjoy.
Don’t miss this opportunity to view the work of some of the most brilliant artists in Canadian history.

For $20 you will receive 10 books in one bag, all in the same genre!

Your support for Rollin Art Centre is greatly needed and much appreciated.
