MANSION UPDATES

We did great on our Chico Icons fundraiser for the mansion--a full tally will be available next week and we'll tell you how much we made for the project. Don't forget to check in at the Bidwell Mansion Community Project (BMCP) www.savebidwellmansion.org for all the latest updates. See BIG article by Katy Sweeny with lots of updates in Tuesday Jan 17 E-R HERE.

Keep checking in with us here, in the E-R, and also on the BMCP's website (HERE) where you may sign on to receive periodic updates.
The best way to donate to the cause is by mailing checks to the North Valley Community Foundation at 3120 Cohasset Road Suite 8, Chico CA 95973 with "Bidwell Mansion Community Project" or "BMCP" in the memo line.

The BMCP is planning to publish a weekly "thermometer" or gauge to show where we are on the road to our $100K goal! Meanwhile, the E-R is jumping in by donating $30 from new subscriptions to the paper. Click HERE for the flyer.

Chico Icons Art Show
CALL FOR ARTISTS

Avenue 9's yearly Chico Icons is moving to a new summer time slot, this year opening August 3 to September 1!

Chico Icons 2012:
Endangered Icons

Application deadline:
June 30, 2012

“Chico Icons 2012: Endangered Icons” will keep the issue of Bidwell Mansion front and center while also drawing attention to other endangered places such as the Veteran’s Memorial Hall, the Post Office Building on 5th Street, the Matador Motel in additional to our natural treasures, like Bidwell Park, our waterways, and wildlife habitat. What you focus on is your choice, but one item on our wish-list is to create a wall of views of Bidwell Mansion (think of Hokusai or Hiroshige's woodcuts, 36 Views of Mt. Fuji or Hiroshige's 100 views of Edo!). This is the place where Life and Art combine and artists become the best ambassadors to communal dialogue and cultural identity.

Download the full Prospectus HERE.

Join us in creating yet another Chiconic blockbuster for the pleasure of North State locals and visitors alike!
