Pasadena Art & Design Open Market to Showcase World-Class Talent at One
Colorado on Sunday, May 3, 2009

Over 100 Emerging Artists, Faculty and Alumni from Art Center College of
Design and Pasadena City College to Sell Works of Art

PASADENA, Calif., April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- One Colorado's bi-annual Art +
Design Open Market will take place on Sunday, May 3, 2009, 10:00 A.M. to 5:00
P.M. The one day event will host over 100 artists in the central Courtyard and
pedestrian alleys, which is larger than any previous year.

The Open Market provides a rare opportunity for the public to interact with
emerging and established artists from Pasadena's leading cultural
institutions. It is especially unique in that all proceeds go directly to
participating artists, thereby supporting individual careers and artistic
expression.

Rochelle Branch, Pasadena's Cultural Affairs Manager, commented "The Art &
Design Open Market is a perfect example of why Pasadena is such a strong draw
for creativity in our region. We embrace opportunities for our own artists to
be recognized and contribute to the economic vitality of the City."

Since its launch in 2003, the Open Market has provided visibility for more
than 500 artists, and has served as a destination for thousands of art
collectors and appreciators.

Participating institutions include Pasadena City College, which focuses on
painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, photography and illustration, and
Art Center College of Design, which has a long legacy of graduating artists
and designers who have significantly influenced our culture. Art Center's
participating students, faculty and alumni stem from a variety of the
College's art and design disciplines including fine art, illustration,
photography, transportation design, graphics, product design, film and
entertainment design. The Open Market is presented in part by Pasadena
Magazine and KPCC 89.3 FM.

One Colorado is located on Colorado Boulevard between Fair Oaks Avenue, Union
Street and DeLacey Avenue in Pasadena. Convenient parking is located in the
adjacent multi-level structure at Fair Oaks and Union.
