Travelling Exhibit: Art of Migration
Join us at 6 pm, Tuesday, February 10th for an opening reception for the Art of Migration exhibit.
This new touring exhibition is presented in partnership with the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy. Local artists have been paired with newcomers to create a piece of art in their chosen medium that depicts the unique challenges, triumphs, and realities of the migration process. This exciting exhibit will be on display at the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre from February 10th to February 15th. Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about the positive impact of welcoming newcomers to our communities.
Featuring local artist Valerii Brovko.
