NORTH STATE PARENT FAMILY RESOURCE GUIDE SPRING/SUMMER 2021 ARTS
Chico spreads the love by way of murals and more.
art that inspired me. After visiting cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles and seeing lots of large-scale murals that were so vibrant, it inspired me to bring that home,” says Speer.
Murals, statues, outdoor sculpture walls and a giant olive
Explore Butte County has wonderful guides to exploring art in Chico and Oroville, including murals depicting the history of the region, art installations like the Hands statue outside Chico City Hall, and the wall of faces on Chico State Campus.
Sometimes an art installation can seem to come out of nowhere, like the Olive Sculpture in Corning, a 15-foot-tall olive built of adobe and skewered by a toothpick of stainless steel. The sculpture is at the intersection of South Avenue and Hall Road, in the corner of a Sevillano olive orchard owned by the DeCamilla brothers. The brothers commissioned Sacramento-based artist Chuck Owens to create the sculpture in recognition of Corning’s moniker of “Olive City.” Visit the olive at 3749-3731 Hall Road
Public art can express community values, enhance the environment, transform a landscape, and much more. With the weather warming up, go out on an adventure and look for public art. You will be surprised at the art that is all around you.
