AN ART SHOW + - The La Quinta Art Celebration returns in late February to one of the Coachella Valley’s most beautiful settings, transforming La Quinta Civic Center Park into a four-day showcase of fine art, music, food, and community. Nestled against the dramatic backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains, the 13-acre park provides a stunning natural canvas for one of the region’s most anticipated cultural events.
With winding walking paths, tranquil lakes, and towering palm trees swaying in the desert breeze, Civic Center Park becomes a living gallery—where nature and creativity meet, and visitors are invited to slow down, explore, and be inspired.
A Premier Juried Art Event
This year’s celebration features more than 185 juried artists from across the country, offering an exceptional range of work including painting, sculpture, photography, glass, jewelry, mixed media, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply enjoy discovering new talent, the breadth and quality of the artwork ensure something for every taste and budget.
Guests are encouraged to browse, engage directly with artists, and add distinctive new pieces to their personal collections—many from emerging creators alongside well-established names.
More Than an Art Show
The La Quinta Art Celebration is designed as a total experience, blending fine art with the pleasures of music, food, and hospitality.
Throughout the park, visitors can enjoy:
- 🎷 Live music performed across multiple locations, creating a relaxed, uplifting atmosphere for strolling and browsing
- 🥂 Fine wines, craft cocktails, and gourmet culinary offerings curated to complement the artistic setting
- 🅿️ Valet parking and the support of more than 125 volunteers, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience from arrival to departure
Each morning begins with live performances at the Amphitheater Stage, Oasis Lounge, and Celebration Bistro, setting the tone for a day filled with creativity and discovery. Local and international musicians bring rhythm and soul to the event, enhancing the park’s already vibrant energy.
A Celebration of Place and Community
More than just a destination art fair, the La Quinta Art Celebration reflects the spirit of La Quinta itself—its desert elegance, strong sense of community, and deep appreciation for the arts. Set among lush gardens and serene water features, the event invites meaningful connections between artists, collectors, and visitors in a setting that feels both festive and intimate.
