Sasse Museum of Art

This small art museum in downtown Pomona is truly a gem. I’ve been there numerous times and seen a lot of great art. Every exhibit, every time has had wonderful, compelling art; some by local artists (past and present, some well known and others not). One of my recent visits featured a large number of works by Milford Zornes, a well known and much loved local artist; many pieces were from his time spent in Asia during World War II. Another artist, Kati Thomsen, based in California’s Central Valley, was featured, with many works that were compelling and beautiful. Downtown Pomona may have seen better times, but it looks like it is working mightily to spruce up its vibe. Don’t let nervousness or fear dissuade you from visiting the Sasse Museum! It is well worth it!

This gem of a museum is right near downtown Pomona and is absolutely free! The art was beautiful—highly recommend.

Sasse Museum is an example of a successful endeavor in creating an art museum from the foundation up in a community. This museum flourishes near top universities as well as engaging an audience very appreciative of a an exhibition space that brings idea oriented art to the Inland Empire. The art is heady but never at the expense of beauty.

Fascinating show that will be a silent auction ending Nov. 24-28, 2021. Different artists took the same torso form-- either male or female--and created their own works of art upon the torsos.

Open Hours need to be updated. I drove 2 hours and I went during Saturday hours and the gallery was closed. There were people inside but the doors were locked and we found out the gallery shares the area with living spaces. Google recommended this place for me. I wouldnt want to risk driving all the way back and for it be closed again.

I participated in a talk on photography. It was fun to hear the other speakers and the audience nerd out!

Small with large collection Needs $$ and publicity
