“The Future” is now in Pasadena!

Travel through time and space when you join us for a free, fun, futuristic-themed art show! Pictures of the future will be displayed by participants in the City’s popular Adaptive Recreation Art program starting Saturday, July 16, 2016 through September 9, 2016 at Pasadena’s Armory Center for the Arts, Community Room, 145 N. Raymond Ave.

A special opening reception will be held 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday, July 16 at the Armory. Light refreshments will be served. Admission is free and several of the artists will be there with their artwork.
