Walk To Art
In cooperation with the City of Pasadena Human Services Recreation and Neighborhoods Department and other partners, the Armory offers Walk To Art, a program of free after-school art classes held at community sites throughout Pasadena. Each class is taught by a professional artist who is an Armory faculty member committed to creating an enriching and supportive environment where students are encouraged to develop their artistic skills and explore creative ideas. In addition to working in a variety of media including clay, drawing, painting and collage, students have the opportunity to visit the Armory's Gallery, which exhibits works by professional artists.
