For over 40 years, the Abbotsford Arts Council has been a voice and resource for local artists while promoting the vision, creativity, and energy of the community through the arts. We are proud to provide the Kariton Art Gallery and Boutique as a resource for local artists to showcase their art. In addition to the Kariton Gallery, the Abbotsford Arts Council produces a number of successful events

to showcase local artists such as the Mill Lake Music Concert Series (formerly Envision Coffee House Concert Series and Concert in the Park Series), Arty Awards, local artisan Gift Shop and Jam in Jubilee. We also are proud to collaborate on community events such as Fraser Valley Pride and TedX Abbotsford. Those interested in receiving regular updates on arts and culture events in Abbotsford should sign up for our email announcements at abbotsfordartscouncil.com. We invite you to visit our gallery and gift shop, attend our events, and become a member of the Abbotsford Arts Council to help support community arts. Thank you for your help in keeping the arts alive and thriving in Abbotsford.
