This exhibition is intended to showcase the diversity found in art today. A diversity that is seen in art that follows traditional approaches as well as that which veers from convention down a path less followed. Artists working today are encouraged to submit images.

Small World, Small Works Exhibition 2010
November 6 - 28
The Small World, Small Works Exhibition was designed as an opportunity for local artists to show their work with other artists from around the nation and the world. Specifically, we hope to bring artists from all parts of the world together under one roof for our visitors to enjoy. We hope to enlighten our visitors about art made by people from regions of the world that they would not normally have an opportunity to see. We value the diversity found in all cultures today and believe that this event will bring people closer to one another through art.
In addition, the Small World, Small Works project will exhibit artists from all over the world together in multiple cities. Artists outside of the Chico area and abroad were invited to enter. We believe we can increase art awareness through the diversity that an international line-up of artists would provide. As this goes to print we have lined up a second city the 2009 exhibition will travel to with another in the works and hope to continue to add others to the total number of locations. The added locations will exhibit all artworks after the end of the CAC show and return to CAC for a one night fundraising auction to sell the unsold artworks. Auction date and other locations to be announced, so check back here or call us.
