CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

By: Jeff Fishbein Chairman of the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce

Ever since the ancient Cahuilla women wove intricate baskets with juncus, sumac and deer grass and, later, plein air painters captured—and still do—the mesmerizing landscape on canvas, La Quinta and the Coachella Valley has enjoyed a rich tradition of art.

This month we hope you will come out and attend one of La Quinta’s finest events. The La Quinta Art Celebration at the La Quinta Civic Center Campus from March 2nd through the 5th. The event was voted the number one Fine Art & Fine Craft Art Event in the Nation in 2022 by the Art Fair SourceBook. Experience an amazing array of artwork, fine crafts and spectacular creations on exhibit all created by nearly 200 juried world-class artists. Artistic styles range from classical to whimsical. Engage with your favorite artists in their outdoor galleries and learn about their process and technique. They may even create a custom commission for you.

Enjoy upscale activities at the event including relaxing al fresco dining and cocktails under a spacious covered patio accompanied by live music. There are also premier libations including a Champagne Bar, a Wine Experience, and for the ultimate adventurer and my favorite, a lakeside Don Julio Margarita Bar.

Tickets are $25 and include re-entry for multiple day visits. Get tickets and all the event info at LaQuintaArtCelebration.org.
