SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage: Explore Historic Architecture in the Playhouse Village
DESCRIPTION:The Pasadena Playhouse Historic District includes approximately 34 buildings that tell the story of Pasadena’s eastward growth in the 1920s and 1930s\, as the city shifted from its agricultural roots into a center of tourism\, culture\, and design. This period of development brought a mix of architectural styles that still define the district today\, most notably Art Deco\, Spanish Colonial Revival\, and Mediterranean Revival. \nThis walking tour takes a closer look at how these styles came together during a moment of real growth and change in Pasadena. Along the way\, we’ll stop at landmarks like the Scottish Rite Cathedral\, the United Artists Theatre\, and the Warner Building\, along with other buildings that reflect the energy and optimism of the period. \nJoin Pasadena Heritage as they explore how architecture and development shaped this district\, looking at both the original vision for the area and how it continues to evolve today.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritge:  Historic Preservation: Then & Now
DESCRIPTION:Pasadena Heritage invites the community to mark the start of National Historic Preservation Month with a reflection on the role preservation continues to play in shaping Pasadena. \nEstablished in 1977\, Pasadena Heritage was born during a critical turning point for the city. Ambitious redevelopment plans sought to revive the local economy\, but often at the expense of historic buildings\, established neighborhoods\, and the character of the original downtown. In response\, residents organized at the grassroots level\, advocating for preservation and ultimately helping to reshape Pasadena’s trajectory. \nToday\, those same tensions around growth\, density\, and identity are resurfacing with renewed urgency. As Pasadena Heritage approaches its 50th year\, this moment offers an opportunity to examine how past advocacy efforts shaped the city as it exists today—and what those lessons reveal about the challenges ahead. Preservation is not only about protecting buildings; it is about continuity\, collective memory\, and ensuring that the stories carried forward reflect the full diversity of the community\, including those that have historically been overlooked. \nThe events of the 1970s\, the emergence of a new vision for Pasadena\, and the evolving role of preservation today will be explored in a talk by Executive Director Dr. Bridget Lawlor on Monday\, May 4.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage:  The Museum of Me: Learning to Talk About Ourselves for Posterity
DESCRIPTION:Joshua Goode is a Professor of History who has also managed a museum studies program and has worked internationally with museums to contemplate how they tell their stories and to whom.  He will lead an exercise in all of us becoming the Curator and Director of the Museum of Me\, putting on a show about us. \nMuseums generally rely on objects to convey stories\, ideas\, knowledge\, a sense of culture and belonging\, and meaning.  Museums can tell collective stories of a people\, a nation\, a small group\, a family\, a time\, and a place.  Museums are also meant to hold collections and tell their stories in perpetuity\, to stand the test of time.  But they also have to think about the audience.  What do they know? How might they react?  Who is walking in the front door?  Who isn’t visiting?  So\, in this hands-on activity driven evening\, we are going to wear a lot of museum hats to talk about ourselves.  We are going to be curators\, thinking about how we present ourselves through objects.  We are going to be museum directors who want to make sure their audiences are served by the exhibition.  And\, we will be collections managers who want to know what objects are going to be used and make sure they don’t break! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage: Printing a Legacy: Arroyo Culture and the Rise of California Printmakers
DESCRIPTION:Pasadena Heritage is proud to host this year’s Dr. Robert Winter Memorial Lecture\, exploring the rise of printmaking in California at the dawn of the twentieth century. \nThe program will highlight how prints made art accessible to turn of the century homeowners\, and how the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco sparked a turning point for artists throughout the state. \nThe lecture presented by author and researcher Susan Futterman will feature a discussion of Pasadena artists Benjamin Brown\, Frances Gearhart\, and Harold Doolittle\, and their role in forming the Print Makers Society of California.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage: Women's Work: The Art and Craft of Weaving in Rural Morocco
DESCRIPTION:Morocco is a country known for the intricacy and breadth of its craftsmanship. While men produce many of the country’s artisanal goods\, rug weaving has\, for centuries\, been the domain of women. Across Morocco’s tribal regions\, distinct weaving styles reflect local histories\, outside influences\, and the aesthetics of the Amaizgh\, indigenous weavers. As stewards of cultural knowledge\, these artisans hold a respected place within their communities. \nThis lecture examines the history of weaving in rural Morocco\, tracing the transformation of the woven rug from a domestic practice to a global commodity. It concludes by considering the most significant changes that have shaped the Moroccan rug weaving industry over the past two decades.
