WHERE ART COMES TO LIFE!

On behalf of the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society, I am very pleased to introduce the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s engaging and diverse lineup for the Winter and Spring 2019 Season. This brochure gives an overview of the wide range of presentations, exhibits and arts & crafts programs that the Society is excited to be able to make available to you in our capacity as operator of the Cultural Centre on behalf of the City of Chilliwack.

Our Society and its staff work hard to provide a diverse and engaging selection of presentations, including a balanced mix of local, national and international performances covering everything from dance to stand-up comedy to theatre. In particular, we are proud to host many presentations and exhibitions by our community partners, including the Chilliwack Academy of Music, the Chilliwack Players Guild, the Chilliwack Visual Artists Association, the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts, and the Chilliwack Lions Club Music and Dance Festival.

On behalf of the Society’s Board of Directors, its hard working and dedicated staff, and our over 300 excellent volunteers, I invite you to explore and enjoy the wide range of presentations, exhibits and programs contained in this brochure!
