This collection of paintings will once again be exciting to view, with 14 painters in this exhibit, there will be many different styles, something for everyone to enjoy. Mark your calendars for this exhibit and join us in the gallery for refreshments and meet all the artists Sat. Nov. 22 from 1-3 p.m., for their artist’s reception.
Work party for lights festival
The Rollin Art centre would like to ask for your help! This will be our third year for this magical family event, but it takes many volunteer hours to hang all the lights and get our gardens ready for this evening event.
We will be holding a work party, this Sat. Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Although this is Election Day we hope you will still all come to help hang some lights. Help make this year’s event even better than last years with volunteering a few hours of your time.
Our event this year includes the following entertainers: Timbre! Choir, Capitol Wee Glee and Capitol Glee singers, the Sea Notes, young dancers from Elite Dance Academy and photos with Santa.
We are also holding one last lantern making workshop at the Rollin Art Centre, Wed. Nov. 19th from 6-9 p.m. No need to pre-register, just drop in. This year’s event happens Sat. Nov. 29 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
