THE ART OF PAPERMAKING.
We’re honoured to showcase the work of Joan Marr, whose art turns pulp, weeds, tea leaves, flower petals, and other natural elements into stunning handmade paper creations.
She drew inspiration from different parts of her life, such as living in her cottage in Point Roberts and views she saw at Burke Mountain.
This exhibition is now on until June 13th!

We are inviting artists, designers, and creatives to transform our floor-to-ceiling front windows into a public art installation!
Located in the heart of @downtownabbotsford , these windows face one of the busiest pedestrian and vehicle corridors, offering a highly visible canvas seen by thousands of people every day.
We are seeking proposals for temporary installations (approx. 2-week rotations) that:
🎨 Showcase creativity and culture
🎨 Invite curiousity, interaction, or reflection
🎨 Contribute to the Downtown’s energy and identity
Interested? We would love to hear from you! The application is in our bio!
Abbotsford Faces artwork is by @sunflowersigns.ca !
