New online registry for Pasadena artists

A new online registry promises to bring more visibility to Pasadena artists, galleries and arts organizations.

Internet users around the world can access the Artists’ Registry at www.cityofpasadena.net/arts for information about galleries, museums, performing groups, educational opportunities and artists who live, work, or provide services in Pasadena.

Visitors to the site will be able to view photos of artwork, read about programs and directly contact the individuals or organizations they are interested in.

“We invite Pasadena-based artists, musicians, performers, writers and teachers of the arts to join the Pasadena Artists’ Registry,” said Rochelle Branch, manager of the city’s Cultural Affairs Division, which launched the site. “We look forward to growing this site for the purpose of promoting the arts,”

The Artists’ Registry is part of the Cultural Affairs Division’s online Resource Directory, an important step taken last year to implement the goals of Cultural Nexus, the city’s 10-year Cultural Master Plan.

The Resource Directory is intended to help distribute information equitably among Pasadena-based artists, teaching artists and arts educators to increase access to
job, exhibition, performance and funding opportunities and promote new collaborations.
