About Pasadena City College Art Gallery

The Pasadena City College Art Gallery is a 900 sq.ft. venue, but hosts a wealth of programs that go far beyond its small scale. The Pasadena City College Art Gallery seeks to educate and illuminate our audience by means of the visual arts. Our program recognizes the diversity of our student audience, and solicits interest from the larger community as well. The gallery seeks to foster the power of the arts to create a humanistic and stimulating environment, encouraging our students as well as the public, to think deeply and free from prejudice about what it means to be living in southern california today.
