Prior to the Eaton Fire, this annual event organized studio tours in Altadena. The Alta Arts Collective, a group of volunteer artists, dedicated to uplifting fellow artists and creating connection, have reshaped the annual Art Fair to provide that engagement anew.
The event, hosted at Fraternal Order of Eagles Pasadena Aerie 719, 455 E. Woodbury Rd., will feature an array of handmade goods, live music, food vendors, community booths, and the Community Canvas Project, an interactive activity inviting attendees to paint a 4×4″ canvas that will become part of a long‑term public art installation honoring recovery and renewal.
More than 30 artists and makers will showcase their work across painting, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, photography, candles, and other mediums. Their presence highlights not only the depth of local talent but also the power of creativity to rebuild bonds and restore a sense of shared purpose.
Organizers emphasize that the gathering is about more than browsing art. It is a chance to reconnect, support local creators, and participate in a collective expression of resilience. Visitors are encouraged to bring friends and family, meet the artists behind the work, and take home pieces that reflect the spirit of the community’s ongoing recovery.
Beautiful art will be on display, and even more importantly, the event offers an opportunity to be part of the story it tells — one of rebuilding, together.
