“The Reach” is open, and AWESOME!
If you haven’t yet visited Abbotsford’s new Arts and Culture Centre (called “The Reach”); you MUST go!
Even if you aren’t the ‘artsy-fartsy’ type, you will love the inspriation and interest surrounding the museum and galleries.

Faces of Abbotsford Presentation Night!
September 22, 2008 marks the Official Grand opening of “The Reach” Gallery, Museum Abbotsford!
To celebrate the amazing people that have taken part in the Face of Abbotsford project, a small (rather large) get-together was arranged at the wall as an unveiling celebration!! All the 30 people represented on the wall were given commemorative plaques to honour their participation, and everyone got to meet eachother, too!
