SUMMARY:Iterations: Explorations in Cloth and Clay
DESCRIPTION:Price:\nFree admission \nDate and Time:\nExhibit – January 2 to February 3\, 2025 \nGallery Hours: Wednesday to Saturday Noon to 5:00 pm \nOpening Reception on January 4\, 2025\, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm \n\n\n  \nArtists Ted Driediger and Lois Klassen collaborate to explore themes and variations in their upcoming joint exhibition “Iterations: Explorations in Cloth and Clay” at the O’Connor Group Art Gallery in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.\nIn visual art\, as in music\, working within themes and variations offers the artists “playing room” as they revisit an idea\, over and over\, in its various permutations. Reiteration of a concept demonstrates that there is not just one end point to the working out of an idea.  The viewer of these series is invited to participate in the artistic process of exploration and development. \nTed and Lois work in different media\, namely cloth and clay. Multiple possibilities in surface design\, use of colour\, form and shape. are highlighted by this disparity of materials.  Driediger’s sculptural works focus on the idea of community and shelter in a village format with an emphasis on shape\, volume\, and interconnectedness. \nKlassen’s work explores themes of social justice\, grief and loss\, and nostalgia for domestic arts of the past. \n\n\n  \nMedia\nChilliwack Visual Artists Association website \nCVAA Facebook \n

Despite his best efforts\, it seems like catastrophe follows him wherever he goes. When a monster attacks Percy at school –getting him expelled AGAIN– he learns that he is the son of a Greek god\, or as the others call it\, a Half-Blood. Nothing is as it seems anymore\, not even his best friend\, Grover. \nSuddenly\, Percy is faced with new powers he can’t control\, frightening prophecies he doesn’t want to decode\, and a mythology textbook’s worth of monsters on his trail. \nAs if his week couldn’t get any worse\, he’s now the prime suspect for stealing Zeus’s master lightning bolt. To prevent all-out war between the gods and prove his innocence\, Percy now must embark on a quest. \nTeamed up with best friend Grover\, and a new half-blood friend\, Annabeth\, can Percy hold off the wrath of the gods\, come to terms with his newfound lineage\, and keep everyone he cares about safe? \nThis show is rated PG for minor mentions of alcohol. \nBook by Joe Tracz\, Music and Lyrics by Rob Rokicki\, Adapted from the book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan \n  \n\n  \nChilliwack School Of Performing Arts Website\nChilliwack School Of Performing Arts (20+) Facebook \n

SUMMARY:Embodied Motion: A Celebration of the Human Form
DESCRIPTION:Price:\nFree admission \nDate and Time:\nExhibit – January 27 to February 5\, 2025 \n\n\n  \nThis short exhibit showcases artwork by our live model open studio students\, celebrating the beauty and dynamic nature of the human form in motion.\n\nThese pieces invite viewers to reflect on the ways our bodies express emotion\, grace\, and power. On display from January 27 to February 5\, the exhibit ties into our presentation of Marie Chouinard’s Rite of Spring at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.\n\n\nThe exhibit can also be viewed during a black-and-white themed soiree on February 3rd prior to our showing of Rite of Spring\, featuring a live model session where artists capture movement in real time\, further exploring the connection between dance\, movement\, and artistic expression.\n\n*Adult material and situations – may not be appropriate for all audiences. \n  \nPreshow event before Marie Chouinard’s Rite of Spring. \n\n\n  \n\nArtists: \n  \nNicola Withers \nNicola Withers is an Abbotsford-based artist\, who mainly works in pencil\, charcoal\, conte or ink. She has a BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design with a focus in drawing and printmaking. Now that her kids are getting older\, this is giving her the time to find a renewed inspiration which has revitalized her passion for her creative art. For the past few years\, she has been focusing on portraits\, but has been drawn back to her love of life drawing through opportunities to attend live model classes. She is inspired by the way the nude body offers the flow of lines without the restriction and disguise of angular clothing. She is also interested in how we can view nudes in non-sexual ways. Her favourite are the quick poses where she can use a variety of line markings to create dynamic poses. \nDescription of Body of Work: \nFor these pieces\, I was inspired by my love of quick posed life drawings and the lines that the body creates. \nMy creative process started with taking drawings from my life drawing classes; then I used the following questions to direct this body of work:\n• How can I portray movement in a static image so that the whole action can be encapsulated in one pose?\n• What lines are necessary to define the pose?\n• How can I show beauty for the nude body without it being highly sexualized? \nWhile much of my work is done in black ink and washes\, lately\, I have been experimenting with adding colour\, specifically using watercolour. I want to leave the viewers with an appreciation for the allure of the human body. \nIG: @nicolawithers_art \n  \nTravis Clarke \nTravis Clarke is a Canadian artist born and raised in the beautiful mountains of British Columbia. Inspired by the surrounding nature and the many fantastic myths they birth\, he often finds himself trying to bring stories unseen to life. Rather then try to render the world as seen\, he believes it’s an artists duty to bring out the world others cant see. Often in his live model art\, the aim is to push the expression\, pose\, or colours seen and build it into a story for viewers to grasp a feeling. \nIG: travis_sketches \nTravisSketches.com \n  \n  \nJeannette Bittman \nIG: @jeannettebittman

Don’t miss out on this avant-garde performance that brings music and dance together unlike anything before. \nIn the trajectory of Marie Chouinard\, The Rite of Spring occupies a special place. Choosing to revisit this powerful hymn to life\, the choreographer creates her first work based on a musical score. Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring explores a New World in its own way and marks the entry of dance into modernity. Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun is poetry for the theatre\, as Marie Chouinard reimagines this classic Debussy piece with a new score and her own powerful choreography. Marie Chouinard finds in this avant-garde work an original pulsation in resonance with her own gestures. Far from constraining the rhythm of his dance\, the breath of this powerful score inspires it\, accompanies it\, and energizes it\, both the echo and the musical counterpoint of an organic\, vigorous\, and exalted choreography. \nAdult material and situations – may not be appropriate for all audiences. \n  \n\n  \n \n \nExcerpt LE SACRE DU PRINTEMPS / THE RITE OF SPRING (1993) – Compagnie Marie Chouinard from Compagnie Marie Chouinard on Vimeo. \nMarie Chouinard Website \nPUSH International Performing Arts Festival Website \n\n\n\n\n  \n\nJoin us for a special preshow event in the Centre’s lobby – a modern Black & White affair; dress up in your finest black and white attire to enjoy music and performance activation\, and an art exhibit focusing on the human form!\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event promises an evening of art and elegance\, elevated by YOU!

DESCRIPTION:Price:\nFree admission \nDate and Time:\nExhibit – March 12 to April 12\, 2025 \nGallery Hours: Wednesday to Saturday Noon to 5:00 pm \nOpening Reception on March 15\, 2025\, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm \n\n\n\nArtists throughout history have been fascinated with the play of light and shadow and the imagery implied by each. Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo and da Vinci developed the style of chiaroscuro which used high contrast light and dark tones in their work. In the 17th century Rembrandt elevated the use of chiaroscuro to dramatic effect as did other artists including many contemporary artists today. The language of chiaroscuro translates to both representative and abstract art. \nThe theme\, Light and Shadow\, also lends itself to wide interpretation creatively. Light and dark can represent good and evil\, day and night\, Paradise vs the Underworld\, a healthy mind vs mental illness. The psychologist Carl Jung theorized that the mind can be divided into sections that include the healthy Ego (the light) and a section of repressed unconscious thoughts and actions\, called the Shadow. He believed that uncovering and working on this shadowy section of the personal psyche was beneficial to mental health. There is certainly a lot of fodder for individual artistic expression there. \n\n\n  \nMedia\nChilliwack Visual Artists Association website \nCVAA Facebook \n

SUMMARY:Walk Right Back\, The Everly Brothers Story
DESCRIPTION:Price:\n$65  – All Seats \nDate and Time:\nMarch 13\, 2025 – 7:00 pm \n  \n\n  \nDIRECT FROM THE UK! Following an incredible sell out tour\, Walk Right Back returns to stages in 2025 by popular demand.\nFrom the producers of UK’s smash hit show That’ll Be The Day\, this phenomenal production tells the story of the most successful musical duo of all time – The Everly Brothers. Featuring hits such as Bye Bye Love\, All I Have To Do Is Dream and Cathy’s Clown\, this unique concert-based musical entwines the wonderful\, sad yet glorious story of The Everly Brothers. \nThe show follows the brothers’ rise to fame from humble country beginning to superstardom\, through their decade-long feud to their glorious reunion which gave them back to each other\, and back to the world. \nWith “harmonies from heaven” that influenced The Beatles\, The Beach Boys\, and Simon & Garfunkel\, The Everly Brothers were unmatched in their talent. Also featuring songs from a couple of the Everly Brothers’ good friends\, Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison. \nProducer Trevor Payne (That’ll Be The Day) says: “The Everly Brothers were an original and unique act that had a sound like nothing else. Their harmonies were so tight that every group wanted to emulate them. Before that there was a singer\, a band and backing vocals\, The Everly’s entwined all of them and created “the harmony group.” Walk Right Back is the first show of its kind to tell this phenomenal story of two brothers and their unforgettable music. This is a show not to be missed!
