Fine Art in the Desert! Come meet 185 American and International Fine Artists. La Quinta Civic Center – Feb 26-March 1
Get ready to enjoy one of the most exciting art shows in the country! In fact, the annual La Quinta Art Celebration consistently ranks as the #1 Fine Art & Crafts Event in the Nation by Art Fair Source Books. Along with returning artists from as far-flung places as 28 US states, Canada, and Africa, this year’s Spring Celebration will showcase 25 artists exhibiting for the first time at Coachella’s signature art event. Artworks will span 11 media categories, including paintings, collages, woodworking, glasswork, photography, and sculpture. Whatever your artistic favorites, you’ll find styles ranging from classical to whimsical throughout the four-day event.
Among the most sensational of La Quinta Art Celebration’s 25 first-time presenters, Pacific Northwest woodcrafter and sculptor Jeffro Uitto, will be showing his stunning monumental driftwood sculptures. These expressive sculptures are handcrafted and imagined with rescued driftwood from Washington and Oregon. They will welcome you to the grounds, giving you just an inkling of the great art awaiting you inside the Art Celebration.
The La Quinta Art Celebration is presented by SCOPE Events, LLC, with premier sponsor, City of La Quinta. A long-time supporter and advocate for the arts, the City of La Quinta prides itself on its ever-increasing focus on emerging artists and art events throughout the year. Visitors will find the many fine-art booths exhibiting glass, wood, and metal pieces, photography, as well as traditional oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings, conveniently placed throughout the gorgeous grounds of the La Quinta Civic Center.
