The Pasadena Senior Center (PSC) has been selected as a host venue for this spring’s City of Pasadena ArtNight, set for Saturday, March 8 from 6:00 – 10:00 pm. This marks the first year that PSC is participating in ArtNight, joining the Art Center College of Design, the Jackie Robinson Community Center, the Armory Center for the Arts, and local museums.

For the event, the Center will team with MUSE/IQUE, the celebrated music non-profit organization, to offer live music, photography and watercolor exhibits, facility tours, a food truck and other activities during the evening.

ArtNight at the Pasadena Senior Center will feature two musical performers, the DC6 Singers and Rachel Gonzalez, who will rotate each half hour throughout the evening at PSC’s Scott Pavilion.

The DC6 Singers, a Los Angeles-based collective of dynamic, energetic and professional singers will perform their unique blend of a capella, gospel and Motown hits, including their fresh take on classic and current standards ranging from Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder to Adele and Bruno Mars.

Singer-songwriter Rachel Gonzalez, a Los Angeles native, will offer soul driven melodies and intentionally honest storytelling, accompanied by her acoustic guitar.

ArtNight Pasadena is a free evening of art, music and entertainment. Pasadena’s most prominent arts and cultural institutions partner with the City for the event. For a city of fewer than 140,000 residents, Pasadena has a significant number per capita of museums, art schools, music conservatories, live theaters, galleries, concert halls and dance performance venues.

“We are honored and excited to have the Pasadena Senior Center participate as a host venue for the spring Pasadena ArtNight,” stated PSC executive director Akila Gibbs. “We invite everyone to come to the Center to enjoy an evening of live music, art exhibits and wonderful food, and see all that we offer to older persons in the community.”
