ALTA Arts Collective Returns to the Eagles Hall for Its Second Altadena Arts Fair

A daylong celebration of painters, photographers, sculptors and ceramicists who have spent the past year rebuilding alongside their neighborhood

The ALTA Arts Collective opened its first Altadena Arts Fair at the Fraternal Order of Eagles #719 last October, just nine months after the Eaton Fire tore through the community where most of its artists live and work. The collective described that first gathering as “a meaningful moment of reconnection.” On Saturday, ALTA returns to the same hall on Woodbury Road for the second edition of the fair, expanded and refined for a community that is still finding its footing.

The Altadena Arts Fair 2026 will gather painters, photographers, sculptors, ceramicists and other artisans for a juried daylong showcase. Live music, food vendors and interactive art activities round out the program, organizers said in a press release. Admission is free, and the event is open to all ages. The Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall has operated on Woodbury Road since the 1950s and has hosted multiple post-fire community gatherings.

ALTA Arts Collective was founded in 2023 by SukiMoonPie, a self-taught mixed media and assemblage artist with a background in community organizing, with co-founder Nina Ehlig handling artist and community relations. The collective has organized a string of open-studio tours across Altadena and Pasadena — a 17-location tour with 41 artists in October 2023, a 48-artist open studios event in June 2024, and an eight-studio tour featuring 31 artists in November 2024. After the Eaton Fire, ALTA expanded its mission to include what it calls opportunities for “healing, expression and togetherness” through art.

The fair runs through the afternoon and concludes at 5 p.m.

The ALTA Arts Collective Altadena Arts Fair 2026 will take place Saturday, June 6 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Fraternal Order of Eagles #719, 455 E. Woodbury Road, in Altadena. Admission is free. For more information, call (626) 604-6248 or visit altaartscollective.com.
