Pasadena Museum of History, in collaboration with the Pasadena Society of Artists (PSA), presents Part II of the exhibition 100 Years – 100 Images now through September 14, 2025, in honor of the Society’s Centennial Anniversary.

An entirely new selection of artworks by current PSA members is now on view in the North Gallery. This celebratory presentation is both a retrospective featuring pivotal historic pieces honoring PSA artists across the decades, as well as a juried display of works by present-day PSA members. Historic highlights in the South Gallery include works by the Society’s founding artists – such as Benjamin Brown, Marion Wachtel, and Orrin White – as well as pieces by early members, including Walther Askin, Jae Carmichael, and Jirayr Zorthian. Part I of the contemporary, juried component ran from February 28 to June 1. 100 Years – 100 Images is made possible in part by The Paloheimo Foundation and Susan Stevens and Family.

Founded in 1925 by fifteen charter members, the Pasadena Society of Artists is an organization of professional artists that has been showcasing its members’ artwork for over a century. Today, the Society continues to thrive, representing a dynamic community of 125 artists and presenting several juried exhibitions annually.
