In celebration of the second year of curated offerings in its new Pasadena location, the Jack Rutberg Fine Arts Gallery will present a new exhibition titled “Art A to Z,” opening Sunday, March 3. The revolving selling show will feature a myriad of artists whose work spans over a century. Owner Jack Rutberg expressed gratitude to the patrons, institutions and community members who have helped support the gallery and said that the upcoming exhibition presents a unique opportunity for the space.
