Bridges to Recovery Calendar

Every Painting Has a Story

Altadena has crossed many bridges since the Eaton Fire of January 7, 2025. Through it all, Keni Arts has been painting the scenes and events shaping the community’s recovery. Sometimes that work takes him beyond Altadena’s borders: in August 2026, he joined fellow Altadenans in Sacramento to meet with lawmakers at the State Capitol and advocate for their community.

A Visual History

Some of the places in this calendar found their way onto Keni’s easel years before the fire. Alongside the new work, you’ll see Altadena as it was.
