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. - Bill Flake 

Chico Art Center Endowment Fund

A Gift of Art For Generations

When choosing what to do with your estate, express your commitment with a tax deductible gift to the Chico Art Center Endowment Fund. You will help to ensure  the quality of the many programs we provide.

A gift to the endowment does not have to be complicated nor large. It can be as simple as a cash donation or you can gift a house, securities, life insurance, or an IRA.

An easy way to make a gift is through a bequest, whereby you give a certain asset, a portion of your estate, or the residue of your estate, to the Chico Art Center. This bequest can be added to the Endowment Fund so that the arts community will benefit from your gift in perpetuity.

The North Valley Community Foundation is entrusted with management of the Endowment Fund.  They have professionals who can help. A gift to the Chico Art Center Endowment Fund is a lasting and thoughtful gift, which will give for years to come.
