Virtual Exhibit opens May 23rd
In it's 17th year, this annual exhibit brings together Butte County's young, creative talent. Every year, our secondary school Art Teachers are tasked with selecting the most skillful and expressive artworks by their students and prepares them for exhibition. This is the only exhibit in our area to display the formative, 8 year span of our youth's creative development in a curated, visual environment. Please join in celebrating our best and brightest in arts education. See creative minds at work by Paradise High, Pleasant Valley High, Chico High, Fair View High, Durham High and Chico Junior High.
This exhibition and cash prizes are sponsored by Penny Baxter and Teresa Gisske.
