WOULD MAKE!
This is what the structure at Normal and 2nd Streets looks like at the moment. It very much resembles the museum at Arizona State University: Chico would benefit enormously from having a world-class museum. The organization www.monca.org, already has the promise of 350 art works, including those by Thiebald, Arnesen, Wiley, and many other famous artists from Northern California. The time is now to demand we get what the community deserves at its very heart. Contact the following people and organizations:
