This Fall, the Department of Art & Art History will have more than 50 fully or partly in-person courses! These will include all areas of Art Studio, as well as some courses in Art Education and Interior Architecture.
Access to our studios and other spaces will be contingent on changing conditions, and we’ll post updates here whenever we get new information.
Our galleries and museums are currently closed, and we will post updates about this Fall when we know more, but in the meantime, the Turner will post works from its print collection here on their Instagram page(opens in new window) and we will post student work on our various feeds, which can all be found in the "Taking Precautions Due to COVID-19" post below.
We are excited for and look forward to a wonderful semester with all our amazing students!

Chico State supports our students, regardless of their immigration status, and welcomes Muslim students, Jewish students, students of color, DREAMers, DACA students, and refugees; the Art & Art History Department supports all these students, and I support all these students.
