On Sun., November 7 at 2 PM, The Sophie Miller Foundation will unveil “Art from the Heart,” a community project in which artists and non-artists from age five to 100 have painted 350 canvases depicting the theme of “Home.” The finished works will hang on the fence surrounding MonteCedro, a retirement community under development in Altadena, at El Molino Avenue and Calaveras Street. The property is the site of the former Scripps Home. The Sophie Miller Foundation supports The Episcopal Home Communities, which is developing the new campus.
Participants at twelve nonprofit organizations have been creating their works of art during the month of October. Each group has completed 15 to 35 canvases, for a total of more than 350 original creations measuring 2’ x 3’. Participating groups are:
- Altadena Elementary School (Public K-5, Altadena )
- Aveson Charter School (Public K-12, Altadena)
- Eliot Middle School (Public, grades 6-8, Altadena)
