We at ChiVAA will continue to garner support from Chico businesses to offset expenses and promote our artists in print, on the air, and through social media. Participating artists will have the opportunity to transform their assigned spaces into living galleries where they can meet the public, market their wares, and be inspired by each other. Participating artists will automatically become ChiVAA members for a year.
