📢 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
