“The Chico review has been an incredibly rich and thought provoking week of cogent and lucid conversations about photography. The experience has altered my relationship to my work, and most importantly left me inspired and with pathways to move forward.”

“The beautiful Montana landscape set the scene for a week spent with an inspiring group of enthusiastic photographers. I enjoyed all the conversations I had, whether as part of the formal reviews or the more informal ones over a meal. Photography, looking, and community are at the center of the Chico Portfolio Review. ”

“ I was really impressed with the attendees and their work, and you couldn’t ask for an environment more welcoming and conducive to visual thinking than Chico.”

“The 2020 Chico Review was such a unique experience! The days are action-packed with impressive and moving lectures over morning coffee, afternoon reviews with bright-eyed artists, and evening programming on the nuts and bolts of being an artist or publisher. There was a feeling of immense generosity buzzing through the air which left me totally wired by the end of the day. What better way to luxuriate in that feeling of connection than to take a moonlit walk through the expansive valley of rolling, herbaceous hills and the view of the beastly, snowcapped Emigrant Peak—with a group, of course, so as not to get eaten by the mountain lions. Exhausting, but so worth it!”
