Neat little art museum in Abbotsford. As an out of town visitor I was pleasantly surprised by the the amount of historical artifacts and information they have near the back of the museum about the town of Abbotsford. Entry is based on donation and the staff was friendly. Would recommend this place as a quick visit to other visitors.

Abbotsford is boring I left BC 22 years ago and don’t miss it at all!

My child was asked to leave the summer camp. I had informed the staff about my child’s specific mental challenges. When he becomes very upset, he might scream or throw something, but these episodes last only 5-10 minutes and do not recur. He finds it difficult to adapt to a new group. Despite this, on the very first day, I was asked to take him home, and on the second day, I felt pressured to withdraw him completely. I am deeply hurt and humiliated by how this situation was handled. I cannot understand why a summer camp would operate without being equipped to work with children who have different needs. This experience has left me feeling devastated, as if we were treated as lesser people.

The Southeast Asian Canadian community history was very informative and eye opening. Stories of immigration, hardships, agriculture, art, religion and a commitment to Canada. A wonderful experience.

For a small city, Abbotsford has a stunning museum. I visited during a Pro-D event and The Reach featured a Bangladeshi artist. The rest of the museum was a tribute to the first South Asian immigrants to BC. Our docent/curator was knowledgeable and friendly. The building's interior is deceptively huge. I heartily recommend a visit, and bring the kids; they have arts and craft activities for them.

Wonderful. I went by myself and paid the suggested donation to enter. Saw an exhibit for Heritage Week featuring South Asian History of Abbotsford. Very informative and taught me a lot about the local community. I will attend again. Disability friendly and the exhibit space is very easy to maneuver for those with strollers or wheelchairs. Clean washroom. Interactive visual exhibits as well for those who have visual problems. No braille.

Just like the name it's an art gallery and museum. So the curation reflects the name. The theme of the time was south Indian migration history and settlement in Abbotsford. Quite informative, good displays but more physical artifacts would've made it better. Lots of videos to watch and interesting physical activity you can do at the end.

Interesting Artist Installations.Liked the "Drawn From Water" exhibit, "When Microbes Dream" is an interesting collision of Art and Science- but my favourite Installation was the "Otherworldly" painting using salt water and the woollen exhibits. Well worth your time! You can bring the kids or pick up take-home paint kits for them.

This is a small local gallery. Don’t miss the back hallway that tells the history of Abbotsford area, including the Clayburn village. Very knowledgeable staff. Huge art display incorporating floor and wall space.
