Pasadena Art Alliance Annual Scholarship

The Pasadena Art Alliance Annual Scholarship was established to provide support to undergraduate students in the Fine Art program who demonstrate exceptional talent and financial need.

The Pasadena Art Alliance’s mission is to foster an appreciation for contemporary visual arts in Southern California by supporting artists, exhibitions, educational programs and art-oriented, non-profit institutions. The PAA is a unique and independent volunteer group that is not aligned with any institution, organization or museum. For over sixty years, its leaders have enjoyed educating themselves while exploring and funding visionary ideas and concepts in contemporary art. This dedication started in 1955 when the PAA was initially formed to support the renowned Pasadena Art Museum. Following the purchase of the museum by Norton Simon, the PAA obtained its own 501©(3) non-profit status in 1975 and became independent in terms of support and affiliations. To this day the PAA remains an ever inventive and dynamic organization of over 175 women who share a deep belief in the increasingly diverse and important art of our time.
