“Wildfire” contemplates our shifting relationship with fire. The experiences surrounding wildfires are increasingly shared, regardless of the country or region in which we reside. The effects ripple far, and wildfires are becoming more prevalent and severe. This exhibition features diverse, critical work from artists based across many areas and nations, and includes both urban and rural experiences. There is an emergent sense of relationship, care and loss that suggests both the need for critical responses to the climate crisis and an increase in kin-centric thinking and living. If we get the chance, perhaps this is the year we all find ways to change the things we can, to care more, and to take the time to find paths that, at first, tend to seem impossible. Collectively, we are all learning to mourn, to ignore, and to meditate on a wound that won’t heal.

“Wildfire” is open to the public January 16th – March 7th, 2026
Wednesday to Friday – 10am to 6pm
Saturdays – noon to 6pm

The CKUA Events Calendar is a listing of music, arts, and culture happenings for the whole province. It is a terrific resource that CKUA offers to the community, to share details about concerts, gallery openings, plays, and films.

Please note that due to the amount of listings, we publish events that focus on music, arts, or culture. While we'd love to publish all submitted items, the sheer number of events means that we sometimes have to decline submissions.

Need to change or update your submitted event?

Email details to feedback@ckua.com and the CKUA team of calendar volunteers will do the rest.
