ArtNight Pasadena: Dance Party at the Armory
Make the Armory your hub destination for ArtNight Pasadena. Nineteen of the city's art and cultural institutions will swing open their doors for a free, all-ages evening of art and performance, with free shuttle buses linking them all.
Shake off that stress and dance the night away in our Caldwell Gallery for the first-ever Armory Dance Party, hosted by DJ Soltera, where you can enjoy wine by the glass, plus draft beer from Pasadena's Craftsman Brewing Company.*
Drop by our Community and Care Room for family fun artmaking with Teaching Artist Ed Leonardi, or head upstairs to our Drawing and Painting Studio and try your hand at still-life drawing with Teaching Artist Ann Faison. We also have tours and live demonstrations in our Darkroom, an interactive, collaborative art experience in our Mezzanine Gallery, and the world-famous Pie n Burger food truck parked outside.
