The annual “Chico Icons” exhibition runs at Avenue 9 Gallery & Art Guild from December 11-January 16.

This show is a great crowd pleaser and features a “People’s Choice” award.

Chicoans love to see the ‘take’ of artists on such local treasures as our water towers, Bidwell Park’s “Five Mile,” the Stansbury House, and less familiar sites including fertile agricultural surroundings with orchards and vegetable fields.

Paradise artist Frank Wilson will be among 24 artists that will be featured in a special month long exhibit starting Saturday August 9th celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Helen Jones Gallery in Sacramento, California, at 2615 El Paseo Lane.

Helen Jones opened the doors to her fine art Gallery on August 8th, 1998 and has since represented some of the finest local, regional, national and international artists creating a harmonious blend of medias, styles, and subjects for her art collectors. Come celebrate this memorable event with Helen and twenty four of her favorite artists, Saturday, August 9 from 6 to 9 PM The special exhibition and sale will be until the end of August, 2008. Helen Jones Gallery has to be one of the most eclectic galleries that Sacramento has to offer. To understand where this eclecticism comes from, one only needs to get to know a little about Helen herself.
