Entertainment & the Arts

The Trincomali Community Arts Council presents 1st Thursdays

The 1st Thursday Exhibit Series at the Library is a partnership between the Trincomali Community Arts Council on Mayne & the Library; a series of monthly exhibits inaugurated July 2006. In its first year the exhibit series has proven itself a happy inspiration. An excellent exhibition opportunity for local TCAC members, it has also provided interest for Library volunteers and patrons. Work exhibited includes that of TCAC members as well as other community groups.

Opening night is usually the first Thursday of every month, at the Mayne Island Library, 7-9 PM.

Library hours are Wed. Fri. Sat. 11AM -3PM, Thurs. 7-9PM.
