South Pasadena 'Pathways to Art' – Street Sign Sale SPEF and the South Pasadena Arts Council (SPARC) are teaming up to sell 300 local retired city street signs. This joint project, “Pathways to Art,” will raise money to advance the arts within our community, such as SPARC’s utility box initiative and funds for an SPUSD Visual and Performing Arts Coordinator. These signs were generously donated to SPARC by the South Pasadena City Council. Signs are $100 per sign and the cost of shipping is not included. If you need to have a sign shipped please let us know. Please note: The signs are not in pristine condition, reflecting the character of their years of service, and sold as is. All sales are final. The city’s sign replacement will be an ongoing, three-year process, so as new signs become available this list will be updated. If the street you are interested in is not on this list please contact Stacey Petersen at spetersen@ spef4kids.org or call the SPEF office at 626-441-5810 ext. 1163. We will give you a call as soon as your sign becomes available.
