70 for 70: Celebrating Chico Art Center’s Historic Milestone!

The Chico Art Center proudly marks its 70th anniversary as a cornerstone of creativity and culture in Chico, California! For over three decades, we've been housed within Chico's historic train depot, fostering art, community, and local heritage.

Now, we're excited to announce a unique opportunity to expand! We've recently secured the lease for four additional, unused spaces within the depot. These areas hold enormous potential to further enrich our community through arts programming, exhibitions, workshops, and vibrant public events, but they need renovation, painting, construction, and TLC to make them usable.

To bring this vision to life, we need your support!

Join Our 70 for 70 Fundraiser!

In honor of our 70 years of artistic impact, we invite you to participate in our "70 for 70" campaign. Donations are welcome in symbolic increments (and any other increments as well):

$7.00 to show community spirit!

$70 for our continued growth!

$700 to support creativity!

$7,000 to inspire future generations!

$70,000 to invest in cultural heritage and transform the Art Center!

Every dollar counts and brings us closer to revitalizing these historic spaces, allowing Chico Art Center to serve and inspire our community for generations to come.

Your Contribution Will Help:

• Renovate four historic areas in the depot

• Expand exhibition spaces and community workshop areas

• Expand art education opportunities

• Preserve and make available to the public an essential piece of Chico's local heritage

Together, we can celebrate 70 years of art and community by investing in the next 70 years!
