Weekend Things To Do in Pasadena 6/18-19/16

As always, there’s something TO DO in Pasadena, to say the least! My selection of FREEBIE or near Free things begins at 4pm Saturday.  I could’ve added more but these are events which if you miss them this weekend you probably won’t have another chance to catch them again.  Plus, I want it make the list rather short so you can easily decide upon the choices you may want to visit. Ok, now here we go!

You Are Here: Art Exhibition Closing Reception. 4 –7pm. 790 E. Colorado Blvd, 91101.  Your last chance to view the art! You can also help support the producer of these pop-up art gallery exhibitions – The Surrogate Gallery Projects (SGP) – by participating in their Silent Art Auction or simply making a donation.  I’ve met “The Surrogate” behind SGP, Holly Boruck – a Pasadena NATIVE! – and the curator, Erika Lizee, and both are good people doing great work!  By the way, these pop-up art galleries are always looking for space to “pop-in” temporarily. So, if you have, or know of, a location please contact Holly of SGP. More info:  You Are Here!

You may notice this weekends list has a creative/artsy feel to it.  What can I say: I guess that’s why Sunset Magazine named Pasadena the Best Town for the Arts in the western USA!  That’s it. Get on it, starting at 4pm Saturday!!
