Art Festival
at Charles White Park
Altadena Arts dares to dream past the current pandemic and boldly looks ahead to a brighter future when we can join together to celebrate the Arts and Artists of our community. The Arts Festival will be a day-long event where artists can show and sell their work, enjoy live performances, and see the unveiling of a Charles White in Fall 2021.
We will be providing an open submission process for interested artists and artisans to participate this festival. Click here to be added to the email list.
We are seeking local businesses and organizations, who are interested in sponsoring this event. To request a sponsorship package or have a booth at the event, click here.

Altadena Arts aims to support more public art in our community.
Our ongoing project is a public art piece to honor our NorthStar,
Charles White, who is the inspiration for our nonprofit organization.
Charles White Park is one of only two public parks in the United States named for an artist.
We are still working to create a monument and plaque that honors the park's namesake. On November 7, 2020, the Charles White Archives* and its executor Ian White agreed to provide the text to a plaque. On December 9, 2020, Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation department had identified additional funding to support this project based on a proposal created by Altadena Arts. Parks and Recreation are currently serving as Project Managers. A committee was formed including representatives from the Altadena Town Council, Altadena Arts, County of Los Angeles Parks and Recreation, and Charles White Archives.
Help us bring more public art at Charles White Park and throughout Altadena by making a contribution
and/or become a founding member.
