Members Only: Arroyo Culture

Ann Scheid, curator of the Greene and Greene Archives at The Gamble House will explore how Pasadena attracted a number of artists and artisans who formed a distinctive colony that flourished and eventually spread its influences in California in the early 20th century. The initial attraction was Throop Institute, a center of Arts and Crafts training where Ernest Batchelder activated a program in design. The focus will be on some of the key figures who lived and worked in Pasadena, who later became well-known and influential educators, artists, and artisans. This lecture will be held in the garden of a 1911 cottage in the historic Madison Heights neighborhood.
