Pasadena Museum of California Art to Close

6/22/2018

From Art Forum. Posted on 6/21/18.

After sixteen years in operation, the Pasadena Museum of California Art will shutter when its current exhibition season comes to an end in October. Board chair Jim Crawford first recommended that the non-collecting museum should close in a board meeting held on Wednesday, June 13. Since not all of the thirteen members of the board were in attendance, a vote was conducted via email, and the decision was reached on June 18. The reason for the closure was not given.

“After sixteen years of presenting art and design through exhibitions that explore the unique cultural dynamic of California, the board of directors would like to thank all of the museum members, donors, contributors, lenders, and especially our hard working, dedicated staff who have made this wonderful adventure possible,” the board said in a statement.
