The Rollin Art Center will be open late on Friday 9th and Friday 16th December so you can have more time to shop at the mistletoe market and stroll through our magically lit gardens. The late night shopping times are from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Hundreds of great gifts are available for purchase at Mistletoe Market. For that one-of-a-kind and one-of-a-kind gift, head to the Rollin Art Center to purchase pieces from local artists and artisans. New items are added weekly so you will have to keep coming back.
The mistletoe market runs until December 23rd and is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
MEET THE ARTIST
This week we introduce you to local artist Ilya Treleaven, a visual artist, illustrator and acrylic painter. Ilya was born in Port Alberni and attended North Island College, where he studied fine arts. He divides his time between Vancouver Island and Dawson City, Yukon.
Ilya has shown his work at events and galleries on Vancouver Island and the Yukon, participated in the Riverside Arts Festival in Dawson City, and taught art workshops online and in person. In addition to being a freelance visual artist, Ilya has worked in the industrial arts as a background painter for animation and art design for music albums.
His work can be found at the Rollin Art Center and on Instagram, where he has published a drawing every day for more than 1,700 days. Contact him at www.artstation.com/ilya-treleaven or send an email to [email protected].
