Also, Pasadena Art Weekend starts tonight with Art Night Pasadena (free admission to Pasadena’s art venues and free shuttles between locations).

Last night we visited Pasadena Jazz Institute and The Armory Center for the Arts.

Walking into the Pasadena Jazz Institute

Paul Lines greeted us at the door and showed us around

There was a large performance space with lots of cozy little tables, and there were separate bar, pool and patio areas where you could hear the music and watch it on screen, but where you could also move around and socialize more or enjoy a little more privacy.

Come on out and ride free shuttles around town to Pasadena’s art museums and other art and music venues, where admission will be free from 6-10 p.m. For shuttle routes and a list of venues, check out http://www.artnightpasadena.org/.

Pasadena Art Night is Friday, March 9 from 6-10 p.m.

Every six months in March and October, Pasadena’s museums and art schools open their doors to the public for free, and free shuttles take people from venue to venue. It’s a pretty neighborly feeling event. It’s fun to ride around in buses with people from all around town and look at art.
