About
The City of Surrey welcomes Maria Arroyo as the “Farm Artist” for Fall 2025 at Historic Stewart Farm! Maria is a resident of Surrey and an avid watercolourist. Her project, Birds at the Farm, explores the many species of birds who frequent the Farm’s grounds and is featured in a 2-month exhibition in Stewart Hall.
As part of this exhibition, Maria is offering weekly, free “paint-along” sessions for the public! Artists of all ages are invited to join her in painting a “bird of the week” – no previous art skills are needed, and participants can bring their own supplies or use those provided.

City of Surrey - Historic Stewart Farm and Community Art
Historic Stewart Farm is situated on the unceded and ancestral lands of the Salish peoples, including the q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), and se’mya’me (Semiahmoo) Nations. We honour and respect these territories and are thankful to be here.
Historic Stewart Farm is a heritage site in South Surrey, BC —a gem nestled on Crescent Road along the Nikomekl River—where history comes alive, telling the story of a hardworking Surrey family in the early 1900s. Special events, programs and workshops for all ages, teas and drop-in visits are some of the ways to explore the site and our local heritage.
The City of Surrey is the largest city by land area and second most populated in Metro Vancouver. Surrey is a forward-thinking, globally recognized leader in building vibrant, sustainable communities through technology and innovation. Our city is one of the fastest growing, culturally diverse cities in Canada.
