Artist Critiques of La Quinta Art Celebration SPRING 2025, 2024

This show has continually been my strongest show for the past 15 years. The venue, show management, marketing and buyer demographics as well as quality of artists are far superior than most shows in the country.


– Exhibiting Jeweler, March 2025

This was my second year and my sales doubled over last year. The patrons are looking for quality art and the options presented by artists at La Quinta are top level compared to other top rated art shows!
