The Museum of Northern California Art, or monca, exists to make art accessible and promote awareness of Northern California artists through collections, exhibitions and educational programs. In this five-episode series, we’re going behind the frames, into the stories, the risks, the history, and the big ideas that continue to shape this community-driven museum.

Chico Speaks and monca Unframed are made possible by the City of Chico Arts Commission and are supported in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency. Learn more at www.arts.ca.gov.
