Local artist Christine “Seamonster” Fulton and CN&R photographer Kyle Delmar spent a recent windy Tuesday afternoon leaving a carefully placed trail of nickels around the downtown City Plaza for what they called Chico’s least-expensive piece of public art. The $230 worth of coins was definitely cheaper than any of the many public-art features in the downtown park, and many of the plaza’s regulars were way more attracted to the subtle temporary addition to the concrete landscape.
