On a chilly Saturday evening in early January, a quiet little gallery nestled on the bank of Mill Lake in Abbotsford suddenly became not so quiet when it hosted the first installment of 2019’s Fraser Valley Biennale. The biennale has been a recurring event since 2011, and has connected the art being produced in our local community to the broader contemporary art community in Canada. The Kariton Art Gallery is headquarters for the Abbotsford Arts Council (AAC), an organization known for its extensive involvement in local arts and culture. This makes it a fitting starting point for this year’s migrating show.
