This is the 35th year the Annual La Quinta Arts Festival has returned to the visually stunning setting of La Quinta’s Civic Center Campus in the greater Palm Springs area.art13

As one of the Coachella Valley’s premier attractions, the award winning event attracts art patrons and tourists from across the nation.  The festival raises funds for the Foundation’s non-profit mission of promoting & cultivating the arts.art15art10

The world class artists have traveled from all over to present the very finest in contemporary artwork.  Only 220 gifted artists and crafters are chosen from over 1,200 applicants who vie for the opportunity to showcase their incomparable works of art in the magnificent outdoor gallery.art16art21

Live music, entertainment, delicious food (Ruth’s Chris Steak House had a kiosk with filet steak sandwiches & champagne), wine and beer complement the experience.  A few examples on this page.art18art19
