Tea on the Terrace
The Rollin Art Centre is very lucky to have a great musical line up this year to help our summer Teas on the Terrace fundraiser.

We are extremely excited to have a few returning entertainers as well as some new faces, one in particular, is high school student, Erin Netzer. Erin is a very talented jazz musician, one to keep an eye on. This is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, while helping to raise much needed funds for the Rollin Art Centre. Wonderful music, catching up with friends and experiencing the Rollin Art Centre’s high Tea under the canopy of trees all begin Thursday July 2. This year’s delicious delectables will be created by Harvest Thyme Fine Foods.
