An artists’ reception was held Saturday June 2 to open the Annual South Pasadena High School Juried Art Show at the SPARC Gallery in South Pasadena.
The annual art show was begun by the South Pasadena Chamber and Scott Feldman several years ago as a way to support the high school arts department by showcasing their artwork. In recent years, SPARC has continued the tradition in the now renamed SPARC Gallery and the art show is juried by SPARC with Dr. Claudia Bohn-Spector being one of the key jury members.
1st place prize of $250 was awarded to Truman Lesak
2nd place prize of $150 was awarded to Ashton Carless
3rd place prize of $100 was awarded to Yiling (Elaine) Gong
Art Center For Teens Free Class award (valued at $400) was awarded to Dominic Donnelly
