The collaborative installation will feature 4-by-4-inch canvases contributed by residents and friends in Altadena

The Pasadena Village Community Canvas Project will host a free public art event Friday, Oct. 24, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Village Office Community Room, 236 West Mountain Street #113. Open to all, the event has limited capacity for 28 participants and is free of charge.

Organized by ALTA (AltaArts Collective), the initiative invites residents and friends in Altadena to contribute 4-by-4-inch canvas artworks with a depth/profile of 1 inch or less toward a growing installation that will eventually be displayed permanently at a local business or institution in Altadena. Participants may create their art on-site using provided supplies or submit their own canvases. Canvases can also be picked up from ALTA during its community events.

The project’s vision is “to create magnificent canvas-covered walls that can be showcased at events,” with canvases added over time to form a completed masterpiece. ALTA will catalog all submitted artwork and host a formal unveiling event in the future.

The initiative is part of ALTA’s broader effort to foster community engagement through workshops, gatherings and exhibits. The branding “Altadena Strong” accompanies the project’s promotional materials.

Those unable to attend can follow updates via AltaArts Collective’s Facebook and Instagram pages or subscribe to its monthly newsletter. For questions, contact Program Associate Kieran Highsmith.
