This exhibit brings together Chico's young, creative talent. Every year, our secondary school Art Teachers are tasked with selecting their student's most expressive and skillful artworks and preparing their work for exhibition. This is the only annual exhibit in our area to display the formative, 8 year span of our youth's creative development. Please join in celebrating creative minds at work in arts education.
$50 and $25 Cash prizes for 14 students are generously donated by Pennie Baxter and Teresa Gisske, Lisa and Jon Freeman-Wood, and Made in Chico.
