Testimonials
The Chico Art Center’s Open Studios Art Tour is the major 2D and 3D arts event in Chico, and the best because it has a real focus – it’s only about local artists, their creative process, and their art.
During the two weekends of the Tour, I share the art of throwing pottery to more people and sell more of my work, than any other single time of the year. Traffic has improved each of the 10 years I’ve done the Tour, making it also a very social event.
People come to see what’s new, arriving sometimes with a group of friends who plan their studio visits after seeing the exhibit in the Art Center’s gallery, or just meeting friends as they’re out for the day. We encourage guests to linger, enjoying refreshments, and our desert gardens, and look forward to two great fall weekends every year.
