Purpose
Over the years, the City of Chico through various funding
sources, added beautiful projects to the City’s Public Art
Program. Many of the pieces have become icons in the
community. The purpose of the City of Chico Art in Public
Places Program is to expand the public experience with the visual
arts, to promote the artistic and cultural development of the
community, and to encourage the active participation of all
citizens in making art a valuable aspect of their daily
lives. The Public Art Program continues to impact the
lives of our citizens and visitors through interaction
with public art.
