Chilliwack Museum & Archives Calls for Submissions for Community Art Show
The Chilliwack Museum & Archives is seeking creative pieces to display in the upcoming Community Art Show. The exhibition will be hosted from September 21 to December 23, 2023 and will feature imaginative works from the Community of Chilliwack.
“Every year, we are thrilled to see the high level of creativity emerging from the Chilliwack community” says Kate Feltren, Curator, “We look forward to welcoming new and returning artists of all ages in this year’s art show.”
There is no specification on what can be submitted and no age requirement!
The Exhibition will open on September 21, 2023 in support of Culture Days. Culture Days is a national celebration of arts, culture, and heritage. This year Culture days will take place September 22 through October 15 for three glorious weeks of colour, creativity, and community. You can learn more about culture days at www.culturedays.ca
We want to see and show what you have created! All members of the Chilliwack Community are welcome to submit their pieces.
Work must be submitted to the Chilliwack Museum by September 2, 2023.
Submissions must meet the following requirements:
▪ Submissions are limited to three artworks per artist, however, the number of pieces displayed will be dependent on total submissions and display space.

▪ All submissions must be labeled legibly with the full name of the artist and the title of the artwork.
