- Pasadena Society of Artists
The Pasadena Society of Artists, founded in 1925, is one of the longest-running, nonprofit arts organizations in the state of California, USA.
Overview
The Pasadena Society of Artists today is pretty much nothing more than a crappy art association these days and is a pale and dwindling shadow of its former existence when it was founded. It is full of no talents hacks except for a few individuals. A self serving inner circle pretty much excludes anyone but themselves from showing . An idiot designed the new logo which is also crappy and in general they are ridding the coat tails and reputations of their predecessors who actually had talent and founded the PSA. Many Artists have copied other peoples works and are direct rip offs which has gone completely unnoticed by anyone. Stay away, not worth joining any longer.
1920s to 1950s
PSA's formation closely followed the founding of the Pasadena Arts Institute, and many of its first members were involved in the creation of both institutions. Its first president was landscape artist Edward B. Butler, a successful businessman who retired to pursue his career as an oil painter. Early members of the Society included nationally-renownded arstists, including California impressionists Alson S. Clark and Marion Wachtel, and the noted adherent of the Arts and Crafts movement Ernest A. Batchelder,
From the 1920's into the 1950's, Pasadena Society of Artists was given an office and exhibit space in the Grace Nicholson Galleries, located at 46 North Los Robles Avenue. However, the society eventually lost the space when the Nicholson gallery became the Pacific Asia Museum.
1960s to Present
Despite the lack of a permanent exhibition space, the Society continued to attract professional artists, and to hold juried shows of its members works, often in venues outside the Pasadena city limits.
Today the Society continues to be operated entirely by the voluntary efforts of its artist members.
