A showcase of art, beauty and talent takes us to day 348 of 365 Things To Do in Pasadena.

The Pasadena Art & Design Open Market is taking place Sunday, May 1st from 10am to 5pm in the One Colorado District of Old Pasadena.

About the Open Market:

This one day event showcases over 100 local artists in the historic central courtyard and pedestrian alleys, giving shoppers a unique and charming environment to discover new works of art.

The Open Market provides a rare opportunity for the public to interact with emerging and established artists from Pasadena’s leading cultural institutions: Pasadena City College and Art Center College of Design. One hundred percent of the proceeds go directly to participating artists, thereby supporting individual careers and artistic expression.

Since its launch in 2003, the Open Market has provided visibility for more than 700 artists and has served as a destination for thousands of art collectors and enthusiasts. Art for sale includes photography, fine art, paintings, illustrations, graphic design, ceramics, sculptures and more. — Information provided by One Colorado.org
