Call for Artists: Fashion Designers, Textiles Artists, Jewelers, Wearable Art  

The Chilliwack Cultural Centre is seeking artists and designers working in fashion, textiles, jewelry, and wearable art for our Uncaged Soire Fashion Show on November 13.  

Uncaged Soire is a free public event inspired by The Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s presentation of Birdyby Hung Dance. The evening will be a celebration of freedom, movement, flight, and transformation, featuring a fashion show of local talent. Artists and designers are invited to show 1-3 looks inspired by the night’s themes of flight, freedom, and movement for a chance to win one of three exciting prizes. 

Submissions for Uncaged Soire Fashion Show are open to artists and designers working in all forms of fashion and wearable art such as clothing, jewelry, beadwork, upcycled creations and more! Looks featured in the show should be inspired by freedom, flight, movement, migration, and reinvention. Selected artists/designers are responsible for supplying their own models. 

Selected artists and designers will receive two tickets to Birdy by Hung Dance.
