Welcome to Art
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. I believe executive orders and other anti-immigrant policies and statements by the president are violations of justice, freedom, and our values, and that those who march against or otherwise oppose ethnic, racial, and religious groups, or individuals based on their gender or sexuality, fail to understand the American project and the fundamental value that diversity brings to our community. I am here for each of you, regardless of your beliefs on this issue.
- Asa Mittman, Chair, Department of Art & Art History
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can help in any way to support you or anyone you know through this time:

Highlighted Weekly Event
CSU Chico Art Students work towards connecting the whole campus through student-made art!
CSU Art Students have chosen to show their love of nature and sustainability though the design and painting of 20-25 new WiFi router boxes placed around campus. You can view them installed around campus showing realistically painted native, endangered, and invasive insects that can be found in Northern California.
Two of the student artists working on painting wifi routers.
