ALTA Arts Collective

Bringing the Color of Our Community to Life

We are a new collective of artists making art accessible in our communities and providing a platform to recognize local artisans in Altadena and Pasadena. There is a long and rich history of the arts in Altadena and Pasadena, with many museums, schools, and cultural institutions and organizations. There are some galleries as well, although not as many as in its heyday. Multitudes of talented artists live and work in the area yet aren’t widely known by local residents.

In the wake of the Eaton Fire, our mission has taken on even deeper meaning. ALTA is dedicated to providing opportunities for healing, expression, and togetherness. Through upcoming projects, events, and workshops, we’ll continue bringing people together—to rebuild, reconnect, and imagine new possibilities through the transformative power of art.

I loved that the tour featured just eight studios—it made the day feel relaxed and manageable. Each stop was filled with such a variety of artists, it felt like multiple shows in one!

Jessica S. ALTA Art Tour, November 2024

The smaller studio list was a big win. I had time to connect with the artists, really take in the work, and enjoy the vibe without feeling rushed. Every studio felt like its own creative hub!

Alma C Earth Day Altadena

Since Altadenans are scattered near and far, I would love for this event to be a way for folks to return onto the land, even if just for the day.
