Chico Arts and Culture Foundation

Arts Commission Meeting: 10/14 Wednesday @4:30pm

https://www.gofundme.com/f/hgdycb Our board was greatly saddened by the recent passing of Community Arts Super Hero, Jenise Coon. We were honored to have her as our featured guest speaker for our Art Champion Event in 2019, and as such considered her a part of the CACF family. Please consider helping her family out by making a contribution to this GoFundMe effort.

Attention Arts Community!!

In 2014 The Chico Arts and Culture Foundation had some clips highlighting public art produced by the Chico State University's Public RelationsTeam, the Tehama Group - here's one that takes a look at The Dancing Trout Fountain, featuring a voice over from our Founding member, Monica McDaniel #FridayArtFeature #DancingTrout

Join Chico Arts & Culture Foundation Members as they discuss the beautiful mosaic artwork of Christen Derr found in our public art collection

This week we are re-visting a video from early in our Friday Art Feature series - a celebration of Chico's Connection to the history of early aviation - found out at the airport, "Soaring Star" is worth a second look - take the kids (or just yourself!) for a drive out to the airport for a close-up look and fun diversion on one of these pent-up summer days #fridayartfeature #aviation #chicoca
