Exhibitions and events

The Community Art Show began in 2020 as a way to stay connected during a time of isolation. What started as an invitation to create and share has grown into an annual tradition shaped by the people who take part. Now in its seventh year, more than 100 artworks fill the Museum. There is no single theme, medium or level of experience required. Anyone and everyone is invited to participate, creating an exhibition that changes each year alongside the community itself.

What changes when we look at Chilliwack’s history through the experiences of young people? Must Be 18+ to Enter brings together archival records and cultural materials that trace how generations of young people created spaces of their own, organized around issues that mattered to them, expressed themselves and participated in the life of their community.
