PAST EVENTS
Catch a Rising Art Star
On May 18, 2008, Ryman Arts hosted its first ever “Catch A Rising Art Star” Art Sale. This one-day-only event, hosted at Gale’s Restaurant in beautiful, Pasadena featured paintings, drawings and photography by Ryman Arts alumni.
All participating Ryman Alumni generously donated their artwork for this event. Because of their participation and commitment to helping support the next generation of Ryman students as well as the attendance, we were able to raise enough to cover the cost of art supplies for the Fall 2008 classes.
Ryman Arts generously gave me a foundation on which to build my art education and career. I was thrilled when I learned of the opportunity to donate artwork to the "Catch A Rising Art Star" Ryman Alumni show. Knowing that the money generated from the sales of my photographs is contributing to the art education of current Ryman students is very satisfying. It is a joy to give back to the community that nurtured me as a young artist.”

The "Catch a Rising Art Star" event was very successful not only for the participating alumni artists, but for those patrons who purchased some incredible artwork for bargain basement prices. Also, there's nothing like seeing a little red SOLD dot next to your art work!"

Thank you to Ryman Alumni, friends, volunteers and guests who made our first ever “Catch A Rising Art Star” a great success. And a special thanks to Gale Kohl for providing a beautiful venue, and delicious food and drinks. We look forward to doing this again next year!
