The Museum of Northern California Art (MONCA) is an art museum in Chico, California, United States. The museum is housed in the Veterans Memorial Hall building on the Esplanade.[1]

Description and history

Established in 2011, the museum has been at its current location since 2017. MONCA's logo features arches in the three primary colors red, yellow, and blue.[2] To commemorate its fifth anniversary, the museum featured an exhibit highlighting these three colors.[3] Other exhibits have included Tales of the Tattoo (2022)[4] and For the Love of Birds (2023).[5] In 2022, MONCA displayed 21 orange shirts to commemorate victims of the Robb Elementary School shooting, which occurred in Uvalde, Texas.[6] The museum also hosted a Queer Art Show, presented by Chico's Stonewall Alliance for Pride Month.[7]

Leadership

In 2020, the museum's first board president Pat Macias was named executive director. Roger Steel replaced Macias as president of the board of directors.[8]
