What a beautiful night at Kidspace for ArtNight Pasadena! ✨🎨

Families, neighbors, and art lovers came together to help create a new community mural, an inspiring collaboration with Studio Tutto that celebrates the resilience of nature.

The mural highlights fire follower plants and flowers and the incredible rebound of life after wildfire, featuring native plants, animals, and pollinators. Together, guests helped paint a vision of regrowth, reflected in the design and the shared process of creating it. 🌿🦋

Guests also sculpted their own clay caterpillars and got a special sneak peek of Butterfly Season while enjoying a warm evening and a beautiful sunset.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this joyful evening of creativity and community with the City of Pasadena.

What a day on the court! 🏀♿

Basketball Bonanza brought the community together at Kidspace to celebrate the joy of the game. Kids and families of all ages and abilities jumped in to learn skills, drills, and try wheelchair basketball!

The crowd went wild during the friendly exhibition game as the CHLA Autry Orthopedic Center staff challenged the Angel City Sports All-Stars. Great plays, big smiles, and lots of cheers all around. No surprise that the All-Stars got the win!

The energy kept rolling with a fantastic performance from the Rollettes, whose powerful moves and inclusive dance clinic had everyone inspired to celebrate movement.

Thanks to all the players, volunteers, and fans who made it such a joyful day. Every body played. Every one cheered. We ALL won! 🎉🏀♿
