More on the Open Space:

Strategically placed in the heart of downtown Abbotsford, the Open Space provide a a hub of curated artists' exhibits/workshops, micro-event space,  startup entrepreneur space, and small businesses support programs/workshops through this medium-sized flexible space.  This adaptable OPEN Space will support the arts and business under one roof while exploring cross-pollination and the development and growth of each sector. 

Utilizing the historic Christ building, built in 1937, a building that is woven into the fabric of the downtown, the OPEN Space will carry on the legacy of connecting people with culture. For over 33 years, the previous business, Hemingway’s Book and Records, provided a retail store specializing in used, out-of-print, and antiquarian books.  As a destination shop, it became renowned throughout the lower mainland.  This is the perfect foundation for the ADBA to continue supporting business and develop downtown culture by creating this muti-use space where arts and the business community can connect to cross-support and cross-promote.
