ART EXHIBIT

CVAA showcases annual free-for-all display in upcoming Chilliwack art exhibit

Jul 6, 2025 | 11:34 AM

CHILLIWACK — It’s oil, it’s water, it’s textiles and scratchboards– the Chilliwack Visual Artists Association’s (CVAA) annual free-for-all exhibition and sale at the Odlum Brown Art Gallery is coming back this summer.

In the aptly named ‘Hot Art Summer’, artists are given a no-holds-barred approach, allowing them to let their imagination run as freely as possible to a medium of their choice.

“Whether it be painting in oils, acrylic or watercolour, drawing, mixed media, scratchboard, printmaking, textiles, photography or sculpture, there should be something for every gallery-goers taste,” wrote the CVAA.

“What better way to spend a summer afternoon than in our air-conditioned gallery enjoying a wide variety of art from artists doing what they do best.”

The exhibit runs from July 30 to August 30 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. An opening reception will be held on August 9 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the gallery.
