Pasadena Society of Artists proudly presents their 84th Annual Exhibition, juried by Jay Belloli, Director of the Armory Center for the Arts.

The Pasadena Society of Artists is an organization of professional artists whose purpose is to present to the people of Pasadena and surrounding communities the works of its most talented and creative inhabitants. Founded in 1925, the Pasadena Society of Artists is one of the oldest organized professional groups working in this area. The Society is noted for a vigorous, active membership with a wide diversity of statement and high professional standards. PSA was founded at a time when Southern California was beginning to produce indigenous art which has evolved into the varied and vital work being created today. We are proud to be a part of that artistic growth and are dedicated to keeping this tradition alive.
