36 Experience Stories that Connect Us Curtain Call On view until September 19, 2026 Step into the spotlight and celebrate Chilliwack's performing arts history. Featuring costumes, photographs, playbills, programs, and community memories, Curtain Call explores the people, performances, and places that have inspired audiences for generations. Window Artists Residency: Cara Guri On view through Summer 2027 Artist Cara Guri transforms the Museum's streetfacing windows into a vibrant public artwork inspired by hand-embroidered textiles, quilts, and other handcrafted objects from the Museum's collection. Blending historic textile patterns with native Fraser Valley plants and wildflowers, the installation honours generations of women's work—acts of care, creativity, and craftsmanship that have too often gone unrecognized. Historic patterns become living stories, connecting people and place while extending the Museum beyond its walls. Community Art Show October 2026 – January 2027 Returning for another year, the Community Art Show showcases artists from across Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley. Featuring painting, photography, sculpture, fibre arts, ceramics, mixed media, and more, the exhibition celebrates the many perspectives that shape our community. History is something we experience together. At the Chilliwack Museum + Archives, we believe history isn't simply about the past; it's about the people, places, and experiences that continue to shape our community today. Every photograph, object, artwork, and story offers an opportunity to better understand where we've come from, who we are, and the future we're creating together. Our Museum and Archives are places of curiosity, creativity, and connection. Whether you're visiting for the first time, returning to a favourite exhibition, researching your family's history, or introducing your children to the wonder of museums, you'll find welcoming spaces that encourage conversation, reflection, and belonging. Through exhibitions, public programs, community partnerships, and the care of thousands of historical objects and archival records, we celebrate the many voices that have shaped Chilliwack. Our community is enriched by the diverse experiences, cultures, traditions, and perspectives of the people who have called this place home. We are committed to sharing these stories with care while creating welcoming spaces for conversation and belonging. Whether you spend ten minutes or an afternoon with us, we hope you leave having made a new connection; with history, with your community, or perhaps even with yourself.
