New Exhibit

The Newest Americans: New Citizens Reflect on What America Means to Them On exhibit through: July 22, 2023

The journeys, hopes, dreams and concerns of 29 new U.S. citizens come to life through vivid color portraits and personal stories. The Newest Americans encourages visitors to see the United States and the immigration process through the eyes of new citizens representing over 20 countries of origin. All photos were taken and interviews conducted in the moments immediately prior to and following two naturalization ceremonies. This exhibit by Sam Comen (photography) and Michael Estrin (reporting) is produced in partnership with The California Museum and traveled by Exhibit Envoy.

La Quinta Legend: Dorothy Arzner

Explore the life of this Hollywood trailblazer, Dorothy Arzner. She was the only woman director during the “Golden Age” of Hollywood, with the largest body of work of any woman director to this day. A groundbreaker in the film industry, she also “broke ground” here in La Quinta, building a home that she shared with her partner, Marion Morgan.
