We are excited to announce three alumni programs for the 2026 Chico Review!

As alumni, you now have the opportunity to attend each year of the Chico Review without the need to submit a portfolio, pay the application fee, or go through jury selection. Each Alumni Ticket includes all of the regular privileges you’d expect: access to daily artist lectures, daily catered meals, panel discussions, evening programming, and more. Additionally, as alumni you get first pick of hotel accommodations!
