Artist in Residence

This program is a partnership with the Abbotsford Arts Council, and seeks to support local culture and encourage thoughtful dialogue by facilitating an artist residency at Parks, Recreation and Culture’s Go Play Outside pop-ups, running from July to August.

Go Play Outside was developed to enhance community connectedness while providing opportunities for recreating and experiencing culture in outdoor spaces. Parks, Recreation and Culture activities are provided to not only educate but to also allow access to these services that were primarily available only at the recreation facilities. It is the goal of this project to support self-care activities, personal development, community engagement, environmental stewardship, cultural opportunities, to bring fitness, sport and fun activities out into our parks as well as to support community connection building and creative placemaking. The health and well-being of our community continues to be a priority of PRC along with accessibility of resources.
