Colouring book
The Community Art Centre has a call to artists for a new project; an adult colouring book. We are currently looking for artists who would like to submit a line drawing, 8” X 10”, of local landmarks or something that reminds you of our wonderful Alberni Valley.
These drawings, black and white only, will be juried and published in a colouring book as a fundraiser for the Community Arts Council and the Rollin Art Centre.
For more information and an application, stop by the Rollin Art Centre.
Submissions will be accepted until Sept. 13.

The Community Arts Council is excited to present the fiddle, step dance and family-based group, Everything Fitz – The Fitzgerald’s on Sunday, Nov. 20 from 2-4 p.m. at the ADSS Auditorium.
Celtic jigs and reel old time favourites, vocal arrangements, choreographed group dance and more.
The Fitzgerald family, featuring three-time Canadian Grand Master Fiddle Champions, Julie, Tom and Kerry Fitzgerald, present an eclectic program that blends traditional jigs and reels, bluegrass, jazz standards, Celtic and show-stopping Ottawa-Valley step dancing, rounded out by guitarist and vocalist Nate Douglas.
Everything Fitz is an energetic, virtuosic, tradition, celebrating outfit. Not to mention one that’s not soon forgotten when seen fiddling and step dancing at the same time.
