Colores de Unidad: Art Exhibition & Showcase

The exhibition features 11 original 24" x 36" canvas murals created live during the Chico Day of the Dead Festival. Ten local artists were selected to explore their personal connections to life, death, and remembrance, culminating in a powerful collection that bridges tradition and contemporary local art.

Alongside these 10 individual works, the gallery features a special Community Canvas hosted and facilitated by Pedal Press, bringing hundreds of individual brushstrokes from festival attendees together into one cohesive piece.
