The community is invited to celebrate CK inspiration at the 2025 Chatham-Kent Cultural Hall of Fame celebration and induction on October 23. Presented by the CK Arts Council, the event takes place at the Chatham Cultural Centre with a reception in Studio One at 6:00 pm followed by the celebration at 7:00 pm. CKXS Morning voice Robyn Brady will emcee; admission is Pay What You Will.

Previously called the CK Arts & Culture Heroes Wall of Fame, the event honours individuals who have contributed to shaping and building Chatham-Kent’s unique creative and cultural landscape. Their contributions have positively impacted arts and culture locally, across Canada and internationally. Inductees are honoured with a permanent plaque and biography in the Hall of Fame located in the Chatham Cultural Centre. Information can also be found at ckartscouncil.ca.

The event sponsors are the Municipality of Chatham-Kent through the Together CK Community Events grant program and Waste Connections of Canada, operator of the Ridge Landfill.
