25 artists will be at work in one hour shifts drawing at the annual Monster Drawing Rally on June 17 at the Armory Center for the Arts. This event--complete with food trucks, crafts beer, DJ Trolley Parker and more--is the official launch of a new partnership between the Armory Center and the Outpost for Contempoary Art.
And hey--you can buy the artworks the artists create for only $75!
The Armory Center for the Arts is about a block to the west of the Memorial Park Gold Line Station.

Edgar Payne at PMCA: Too Much Good Stuff
Like the south of France, California's landscape and light seems to lure Impressionist artists, among them Edgar Payne back in the early 20th Century.
In honor of its 10th Anniversary, the Pasadena Museum of California art has devoted almost all its exhibition space to a comprehensive show of Payne's work. And it is almost too much of a good thing. Mounted by subject matter, one sees painting after painting of the majestic Sierra mountains. Painting after painting of the surging ocean near his home at Laguna Beach. Painting after painting of the Southwest. And painting after painting of Breton fishing boats. Yes, Payne went to Europe for a couple of years, later in his career. He wasn't hanging out in Paris with the art crowd. He was busy making paintings he could sell back in the U.S. to support his family.
So if you love California Impressionist paintings in a massive display, go see this show.
Much smaller and more dramatic is a sculpture installation by artists Lisa Little and Emily White in the entry to PMCA.
It projects through the window out beyond the facade of the building.
The Pasadena Museum of California Art is close to the Memorial Park Gold Line Metro Station.
