on October 11th. The artists were juried. And they were juried by the members of the Pasadena Society of Artists. So, it's a good select number of artists who have been chosen."
"The event will run from 11 am to 5 o'clock in the evening. It will showcase the artists. People can view art; they can purchase art. They can listen to live entertainment and we'll also have an hands-on activities center ... so, we're bringing the art experience beyond what people normally think of as...just viewing art...but also have people participate in art," Romo said.
