Creative Horizons Opens at Art Etc. in Downtown Chico
The Creative Horizons exhibition celebrated its opening reception on Friday, October 9, at Art Etc. in downtown Chico. The evening featured live music performed by students from Butte College, adding a wonderful musical element to the exhibition.
Creative Horizons brings together artwork from students representing several local schools and arts organizations, including Butte College, Chico High School, Chico Junior High School, Little Red Hen, Chico Country Day School, and Chico Art School & Gallery.
The exhibition offers an opportunity to see the creativity and individual perspectives of artists at different stages of their development. Each participating school brings something distinctive to the show, with artwork reflecting a variety of interests, techniques, and approaches.
A special thank-you goes to the Butte College student musicians who performed during the reception, the participating teachers and schools, and everyone who contributed to bringing the exhibition together.
Curated by Kevin Trivedi, Creative Horizons is part of this year’s Artoberfest celebration at Art Etc.
The exhibition remains on display through December 3, 2026, with artwork available for viewing at Art Etc., 256 E. First Street, Chico, California.
📢 Thank You Artists & Attendees of the
– Visual Music Art Show🎨
Thank You to Our Artists and Community
🌌 Fantastic Worlds
Art Etc. extends a heartfelt thank you to all of the artists, visitors, collectors, musicians, friends, and community members who helped make Fantastic Worlds such a memorable exhibition.
This show brought together imaginative works inspired by science fiction, fantasy, mythology, dream worlds, alternate realities, and the power of creative invention. Each participating artist contributed to a shared sense of wonder, helping transform the gallery into a space filled with strange landscapes, heroic visions, mysterious beings, and worlds beyond the everyday.
A special thank you goes to Will Nava, who composed original music for the exhibition. His contribution added another dimension to the show, creating an immersive connection between visual art and sound. To our knowledge, this may have been one of the first times, and possibly the first time, that original music was composed specifically for a visual art exhibition in Chico.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated, attended the opening, shared the exhibition, purchased artwork, supported the artists, and helped celebrate the creative spirit behind Fantastic Worlds.
Thank you for helping make this exhibition a meaningful part of Art Etc.’s ongoing commitment to artists, imagination, and community
