Makers of all ages transform the common pizza box into extraordinary objects
This is our 4th Annual Community Art Competition & Auction and this year all the artwork will be on exhibit in our main gallery for two weeks. This will give our audience time to view the art and to bid on their favorite entries over an extended time. This delightful event and silent auction is a fundraiser for the Chico Art Center.
Pizza My Art is a playful way to engage with art and our community and over the last three years entries have really become quite extraordinary. For anyone entering the competition, it is a chance to stretch your imagination and to win cash awards, gift certificates for pizza, and consolation prizes. For art lovers and collectors, this exhibit and silent auction is an opportunity to view and acquire fun art for home or office.
As in previous years, our sponsors are Mountain Mike’s Pizza, Grana, Mulberry Station, Woodstock’s Pizza, and Farm Star Pizza. They have donated pizza boxes, gift certificates and in-kind prizes. Cash prizes were donated by Chico Art Center members.
Special thanks to Marion Hunziker-Larsen and Nicolai Larsen for graciously producing this fundraiser.
