Chico Paper Company

Awesome customer service! I could spend hours there looking at the art and talking with the employees. They are so knowledgeable!

Beautiful, small art shop located in the corner.
My friend took me here because he loves the artist who puts famous buildings and photoshops it in the middle of no where — really great concept!
The employee that approached that was very friendly. She explained to us about the artist and how he was able to do it.
After looking at that artwork, we looked around the store and found some really interesting place. I found this shop more interesting than most museums, to be honest.

I live in Chico and like to support our local businesses. Along those lines I went into the Chico Paper Company to try and find a print that was auctioned off at a local fund raiser to purchase one. When in the store I was helped by two staff members and was told by one of them, «What are we, the Yellow Pages?» Shocking response to a question in a store where I wanted to purchase the print. Needless to say, I left there last week and will never enter the store again.

Wonderful art by local artists, and friendly informative staff. A «must see» if you are in downtown Chico.

Copies (Giclee’s, etc.) represent much of this store’s art, and the prices overall are quite high. Furthermore, this «gallery» doesn’t have a very good representation of Chico artists, no matter what they say.

I popped in here on a recent trip to Chico. This frame shop has definitely evolved into a gallery. I am impressed by their efforts to represent the local talent in Chico and the area seems to be a true artist community. They had a wonderful representation of art from glass, metal pieces, silkscreen, photography, you name it. I especially enjoyed the pieces by DiGrazia. I highly recommend checking this gallery out when you are in downtown Chico.

This is a wonderful store that has kind of morphed into a gallery over the years. They support and exhibit local artists as well as selling art supplies. They are a little pricey but have quality products. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. A great place to wander through on a weekend afternoon.

I picked up some great photographs by a local artist here over the weekend. The items I selected were on consignment and were surprisingly inexpensive, though I felt like the prices on the other items in the gallery were marked up a bit high, but that seems to be part of a larger trend evident at galleries all over the place, so I can’t really fault them for that.
They seemed to have a large selection of work by local artists which I think is fantastic. The glass art that was on display was gorgeous, even if they did have quite a few glass pumpkins mixed in there. I’ll be the first to admit, I do not get the whole glass pumpkin thing, they are everywhere! Do that many people really like pumpkins? Or are there just that many women running around with Cinderella complexes? Anyway, they had several (non-​squash) pieces that I would’ve loved to have come home with. Maybe next time.
The staff at the gallery was friendly and helpful without being overbearing. I would definitely check them out again.
