Open Studios is an annual event celebrating local artists in Pasadena and Altadena, and I’m excited to join in as a guest poet on Saturday, June 1. Here’s more:

The Open Studios Art Tour provides an intimate view into the artist’s life and studio; to be able to see where and how ideas are conceived and developed. When visiting an artist’s studio, the creative process becomes apparent and is unique to each artist. It provides a personal, individualized experience, unlike the setting of a typical gallery show. This is what makes our event so special. We don’t charge any admission fees, and welcome all of our neighbors to experience the tour.

I’ll be reading at the LA General Store Design Studio, located at 274 West Las Flores Drive in Altadena at 3:30pm on Saturday, June 1. Hope to see you there!
