Applications are now open for the City of Abbotsford’s 2025 Artist in Residence: Sharing the Stories of Abbotsford. Heritage Abbotsford is partnering with the City of Abbotsford to collaborate with a local artist through a self-directed residency aimed at strengthening community appreciation of local heritage through art.

2024 Call for Directors

You probably know by now that we at the Heritage Abbotsford Society collect, record, preserve, and share the stories of Abbotsford. Amongst other things, we work extensively with local built heritage (yes, that’s fancy speak for “old budlings and sites”), research local historic topics, and exhibit artifacts from our collections and archives on and off Trethewey House Heritage Site.
