"Rice Fields and Orchards" opens at the gallery February 12 and runs through March 20. This very exciting show truly celebrates the best that is in our rural urban area.
Skywest Magazine has scoped out and scooped the work: Mitchell’s Radiant Fields will be on the cover of their Winter issue (Jan/Feb) with an accompanying artist’s profile and a story about Chico, its art and its rich farmland. Stay tuned! And if you take a flight out of Chico, pick up the magazine and bring it home!
In the Spring, look for a show featuring the stone sculpture of Bob O’Neill, and another town-and-gown collaboration between our guild and Chico State art students—another tradition in the making! |

A Note About
The Website |
As you'll quickly notice, the homepage of our website has taken on a different appearance. This is the beginning of an ongoing effort, with the assistance of designer-photographer Charlie Osborn, to create a new look and feel for the site. During the process of getting from "here to there," pages that have been active will temporarily be disconnected, but they will be back soon. For now, this homepage will serve our needs to keep everyone informed on what is happening at the gallery.
If you have suggestions for what you would like to see happen on the site, please email me with your thoughts.
Thank you!

Avenue 9 Gallery and
Art Guild |
Avenue 9 Gallery opened with an exhibition "Openings" January 16, 2004. In April 2009, the gallery was transformed into a professional artist guild whose members are excited about exhibiting their art, learning from each other, sharing their knowledge, and solidifying their artistic presence in the community. Major decisions regarding direction, focus, membership, exhibition and event calendar are made collectively. All artists maintain a consistent presence in the gallery and have the opportunity periodically to be featured artist. As a professional organization, the gallery also does community outreach and mounts special exhibitions and group shows and sometimes engages in collaborative programs with other galleries and/or with advanced students at both Chico State University and Butte College.
