Art on Millionaire's Row Event to Take Place Saturday

The third annual  event, an array of local artist displays, crafts vendors, live music, and food, will take place Saturday at the Altadena Library.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and has free admission. There will be about 40 artists exhibiting their works, 

It takes its name from its location in the neighborhood around Santa Rosa and Mariposa Street.  The area was home to many mansions in the late 19th Century, some of which still stand today.

The organizers of the event have sent out the following description of highlights of the event:

An exhibition of art, all for sale. There will be a juried competition, with prizes awarded. The fifty fine art pieces entered include ceramics, art glass, oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastel landscapes and nature studies, sculpture, and digital and film photography. All of the artists are from Altadena or surrounding communities.  An artists’ reception and awards presentations will take place on Friday evening from 6 to 9 pm in the Community Room. Refreshments will be served. 

 About forty artists and craftspeople will be selling their work in booths on the library grounds. Objects and materials include paintings, photography, fabric and textile art, ceramics, glass, sculpture and pottery and jewelry.  There will be something for everyone. Proceeds from the sale of artwork benefit the Altadena Library.

Live music will play throughout the day. Musicians include local bands, guitar players, and singers of folk and popular songs. One of the bands playing features several astronomers from JPL with vocalist Sallie Cruise Vice President of Friends of the Altadena Library. 

For the children there will be a face painter, balloons, and art activities with materials and instructions, all for free.

A special art project "Eyes on Art" in which each piece features one or more pair of eyeglasses which will be donated by participating artists to be sold to the public with the proceeds to benefit the Altadena Library Foundation.

 Food vendors, mostly local favorites, selling fried chicken, Louisiana-style sausages, tamales, salads, sandwiches, fruit cups, pastries, cookies, cupcakes, and ice cream, and hot and cold coffee drinks and smoothies.
