TeenTix LA Hosts Free Visual Arts Event and Lunch for Teens at the Armory in Pasadena, 9/6

TeenTix LA, an organization that connects local youths to LA’s vibrant cultural scene through its unique free TeenTix Pass program, announces the second of two special events designed to introduce teens to the digital pass’ notable benefit – a free hands-on visual arts event at Pasadena’s Armory Center for the Arts on Saturday, September 6, 2025, 11 am. The event, open to all teens ages 13-19, features a private artist-led tour of the current photography and art exhibits, a collage workshop created specifically for TeenTix, and private lunch. Admission is free but reservations are required; register at la.teentix.org.

The TeenTix Pass, available to teens 13-19 years old, provides access to more than 35 leading theaters, museums, and film centers in the Greater Los Angeles area for just $5 per ticket. Participating institutions include Armory Center for the Arts, Center Theatre Group, East West Players, Geffen Playhouse, Heidi Duckler Dance, Latino Theatre Company, Pacific Opera Project, Pasadena Playhouse, Sierra Madre Playhouse, Skirball Cultural Center, The Autry Museum of the American West, The Soraya, Wende Museum, and many more.

“The event at the Armory offers Southland youths a great way to ‘test drive’ TeenTix LA,” says Program Director Allison Whorton. “We welcome everyone! There are no requirements to participate other than age.”

She adds, “The mission of TeenTix LA is to spark teens’ curiosity about the arts and provide access to the region’s extraordinary cultural offerings by helping to eliminate cost as a barrier to entry. Equally important, TeenTix LA provides an opportunity for teens to engage with art their own terms and connect with like-minded teens. It is very easy to sign up for a free TeenTix Pass online through our website, la.teentix.org.”

TeenTix LA currently includes more than 4,000 passholders from 500 Southland zip codes. To date, TeenTix LA has facilitated more than 2,500 $5 ticket purchases, making the arts accessible while helping cultural institutions reach a younger demographic.

TeenTix Pass companion tickets are available to passholders as well, enabling them to bring friends or family members so they can enjoy cultural events together. LA Parent describes TeenTix LA, which also has a comprehensive online calendar of events for its cultural partners, listed by date, genre, venue, or organization, as “a one-stop shop for youth to learn about arts events in the city.”
