Artists, Bohemians & Craftsmen of the Arroyo

Thursday, September 11 | 7:00 pm

The Arroyo Seco and the winding streets overlooking it were a hotbed of creative activity in the early 20th century, enticing many artists, bohemians, and craftspeople. Due to the talents of people like tilemaker Ernest Batchelder and architects Charles and Henry Greene, Pasadena became one of the centers of the American Arts & Crafts movement (one of only three in the country). Join PMH Curator of History & Exhibitions Julia Long as she shares her illustrated presentation and learn about Pasadena’s role in cultivating this movement and the people whose talents - as well as their varied interests in history and multicultural sources of inspiration - made it successful.

Presentation will begin at 7:00 pm; PMH Galleries will open at 6:00 pm for viewing the Pasadena Society of Artists' centennial exhibition, 100 Years – 100 Images.

Space is limited; advance reservations required.
