The opening reception for SPARC’s new art exhibition, “The Human Form,” will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at the SPARC Chamber Gallery inside the South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, featuring evocative colored pencil works by artist/author/teacher Yuki Toy, known for her emotion-evoking illustrations. Toy, whose artwork has been part of the curriculum at USC and Cal Tech, is a teacher of anatomy illustration and figure drawing at a number of Los Angeles colleges and is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post. Curated by artist Blue Trimarchi of Art Works Fine Art Publishing, Inc., the exhibition will run through January 7.

In the City Hall Courtyard, SPARC will have a photo corner inspired by the book, “People Who Look Like Art,” by artist/author Lorraine Triolo, with a painted backdrop by artist Jeanie Joe and wildly original, found material hats for participants to don crafted by Triolo and Joe. Other activities include photo opportunities with comical pop-up boards painted by local South Pasadena artists and coloring fun for children.
