SPARC Holiday Art Exhibition & Sale Official Opening

The “Holiday Group Art Exhibition and Sale” officially opens on Saturday, December 4, from 5 to 8 p.m. (with live music provided by saxophonist Taylor Plenn) at the SPARC Gallery, where affordable works by noted professional artists will be available for purchase in a variety of mediums—watercolor and oil paintings, collage, ceramics, and soft sculpture. Featured artists are Victoria Arriola, Michael Campagna, Elaine Carhartt, Laurie Hendricks, Shelley Stephens, Rebecca Tager, Cynthia Thiel, and Ella Trimarchi. Also for sale: the South Pasadena Arts Council’s first published book, “The Art Box Poems,” by Rick Leddy, a collection of evocative poems and striking photographs of what inspired them: SPARC’s collaboration with the City of South Pasadena that commissioned artists to transform the city’s utility boxes into a visual feast of design and color. The exhibition and sale will continue through Jan. 7, 2022.
