Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts has announced that Matt McIntyre has been named president of the organization for the 2024-25 year. McIntyre is the first male member to serve in the position in the organization’s 77-year history. An active member since 2018, McIntyre has held various board and benefit positions over the years, and recently served as Benefit chair of the Pasadena Showcase House of Design in 2023.

McIntyre says he is honored to be leading Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts at a time of particular growth and prosperity.

“It has been thrilling to see the success of our all-volunteer organization over the last four years since the pandemic,” he said. “Our four recent benefits have seen a surge in attendance and collectively raised $2.4 million that we’ve immediately distributed to our local community; topping $26 million in total funding since our founding in 1948. In addition, each of our music programs is growing, as has our volunteer membership.”

He is looking forward to his role as president during another milestone, opening the organization’s 60th Showcase House. Though McIntyre couldn’t release details of the house, he shared that an announcement was forthcoming.

“Our 60th Pasadena Showcase House of Design will be one of the largest estates we have presented to date and a new Showcase House for our annual visitors,” he said.
