Sweetness of Circles: The Installation
August 21 to September 19, 2026
Odlum Brown Gallery, Chilliwack Cultural Center 9201 Corbould Street, Chilliwack BC
Gallery Hours: Wednesday to Sunday Noon to 5 pm
Opening Reception: Saturday, August 22, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
It’s here! We are vibrating with excitement! After a series of heart-centred, community-driven experiences over the past two years—and a much longer period of engaged conversation— the culminating moment has arrived! Throughout 2025/26, site-specific gatherings unfolded across the Lower Fraser Valley and parts of the GVRD. Each of these community-driven experiences shaped a large scroll woven with collective voices and visions. Now, these scrolls have come together as a living archive and exhibition.
Join us to share in the magic of what you have already helped us co-create and its continued unfolding.
