PASADENA SHOWCASE HOUSE FOR THE ARTS CELEBRATES ITS

Since 1948 our all-volunteer organization has grown from 18 people to over 200 today!

The commitment, organization, teamwork, and camaraderie of Pasadena Showcase members of our homeowners, talented designers, caterers, and vendors make us successful, every year.

We are joyous about 75 years of supporting music, but more importantly, we celebrate the membership that brought us to where we are today. Our membership consists broadly of two groups, Active/Business members, the day-to-day hardworking group that brings the Pasadena Showcase House of Design to fruition and Associates, who have served us well over the years and continue to support Pasadena Showcase through patronage and service.

In 1948 we were the Pasadena Junior Philharmonic Committee, raising funds to support LA Phil concerts and we have continued that support, “sticking to our jobs,” for more than two-thirds of the current life of the LA Phil, now in its 104th season.

Our fundraising efforts have blossomed over the years from small parties, casino nights, and, with the advent of television sets, “TV Parties,” where members dressed as beloved TV actors. We raised $3,000 to 5,000 annually, and then set our sights higher.

In 1965, we more than doubled our fundraising to $11,000 by reaching out to the community and opening the first Pasadena Showcase House of Design. You, our community, responded enthusiastically and continue to do so today at the Stewart House, our 58th Showcase House.

We thank you for your support in your visit. And we are eternally grateful to our designers and members for continually taking on the hard work and intense responsibilities involved in creating all 58 of our Pasadena Showcase House of Design benefits.
