15 Art Shows to See in Los Angeles This Spring
— Hyperallergic

Material Prophecies: Craft as Divination brings together eight artists who turn to craft to divine memory, enact ritual, and seek knowledge of the future. Working with earth, fiber, metal, cyanotype, terracotta, and film, they carry ways of understanding the world passed through generations, giving form to what is felt, inherited, and unseen. Through these practices, material becomes both medium and oracle, connecting with Spirit, place, and ancestral knowledge.

Rooted in the San Gabriel Valley, where cycles of wildfire, floods, winds, and regrowth shape the landscape, the exhibition reflects on time as nonlinear and ever returning. The artist's works echo these rhythms, suggesting that transformation is both inevitable and generative, and that materials remember across distance and lineage.

The exhibition features works by Jackie Amézquita, April Bey, Calethia DeConto, Emmanuel Louisnord Desir, Joel Gaitan, vanessa german, Sky Hopinka, and Lani Trock.

The City of Pasadena and the Black History Planning Committee are pleased to announce that former Pasadena City College track and field athlete and coach Walt Butler will serve as the Grand Marshal for the 2026 Black History Festival, happening Saturday, February 21, from 10 AM to 3 PM at Robinson Park, 1081 N. Fair Oaks Avenue. This year’s theme is “Unifying the Culture & Protecting Our Freedom, Passing the Baton to the Next Generation.”

Butler is a local sports legend in the community, having had a storied career in high school football and track and field at Pasadena High School and Pasadena City College, and has since been inducted into the Pasadena Sports Hall of Fame. He has long served his community, having helped youth and seniors as well as the local unhoused community by donating shoes from his own sporting goods store to those in need. In 2025, Butler lost his Altadena home of over 60 years in the Eaton Fire, and despite having suffered such a devastating loss, he is ready to rebuild and help his community rebuild alongside him.

Alongside Butler, Dell and Dudley Stewart will serve as Community Grand Marshals, and the Youth Grand Marshals are Bobby Milton, Carlos Ferreira Gaxiola, Vaughn Cross, Malik Husaini, Danial Jamshidi, Christopher Baghdassarian, Luca Bonnici, and Alec Heberger.

“We are honored to have Walt Butler as our Grand Marshal for the 2026 Festival,” shares Pixie Boyden, Committee Co-Chair. “He is a shining example of who we are as residents of Pasadena, and a testament to our community. While we still grapple with the long-term effects of the Eaton Fire, we are proud to bring back portions of our festival that were cancelled due to circumstances.”

Serving as the emcee of the event will be local journalist James Farr, host of Conversation Live: Altadena Rising. Through his radio program, Farr has explored the deep roots of Altadena’s Black community and its resilience in the wake of the Eaton Fire.

While the parade will not be present this year, the classic car show will make its return, adding to a heartwarming day filled with performances, activities, and much-needed support. Additionally, attendees can enjoy:

• Youth Performances showcasing local middle and high school talent
• Live Entertainment from artists representing Pasadena’s vibrant cultural community
• Food Trucks offering a diverse selection of delicious food options
• Community Resource Booths staffed by numerous local organizations providing information, services, and support.

Rare Books Pasadena welcomes booksellers and bibliophiles from around the world to share their love of antiquarian books, fine prints, maps, ephemera. With support from AbeBooks, more than 70 exhibitors from London, Melbourne, New York, and throughout the United States and Canada will fill the historic Raymond Theatre and a second location at the neighboring Courtyard by Marriott ballroom with a dazzling array of rare books and other historical material. 

The Raymond Theatre, originally named the Crown Theatre, was built in 1921 and became a prominent entertainment venue known for its elegant design and grand architecture. In the late 1970s, it gained fame as Perkins Palace, hosting rock concerts featuring notable acts like Van Halen, Bruce Springsteen, Devo, Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies, Guns N’ Roses, Black Flag, and more. 

Tickets range from $15-25. A weekender pass to the book fair is $25 and includes a limited-edition poster and entry to the fair both days.
