Working West Coast exhibit
The Rollin Art Centre opens its 2012 season with an exhibit courtesy of artist Doug Harrison.

The exhibit starts on Tuesday, Jan. 10 and runs until Saturday, Feb. 5. Meet the artist at the gallery on Saturday, Jan. 14 from 1–3 p.m.
Any proceeds from the sale of art during this exhibit will go toward an as-yet-to-be-announced historical project.
