CreatiValley, the Reach Gallery Museumâs nine-day celebration of local culture, proved that Abbotsford is fertile ground for the arts. Concerts, improv and stand-up, art battles, and panel discussions were among the festivities of the exhibition â one highlight being a 12-hour marathon of exhibitions, events, and performances by UFV fine arts students on Friday, October 2. One of these events was the launch of PIPE
magazine, UFVâs new journal from students in the visual arts department. The Cascade
spoke with Terrill Smith, PIPEâs managing editor and cofounder, to talk about the launch and the future of the magazine.
Tell me about the launch party.
