Following retirement from a 30 year career with the City of Abbotsford’s Park, Recreation and Culture Department, 2-D Visual Arts Arty Award Nominee Betty Johnston now takes pictures at many of the City’s community events, some of which have been featured in Abbotsford Travel Guides, presented as gifts to local dignitaries, and been awarded numerous prizes.

We also offer a wonderful education speaker series called “Art of Marketing”.
