First and foremost, by volunteering at an arts festival you will  of course be supporting your local creative scene. La Quinta Art Celebration lays claim to some of the most influential artists, in a venue unlike any other.  In a city like ours, which pops with artistic expression, giving up a little of your time and energy to ensure that the city retains its artsy reputation for years to come is a fabulous way to love your city back, Have fun, and meet great new friends.


– Rhonda Larson, Retail Captain 

I love volunteering with the La Quinta Art Celebration! Not only do I feel that I am improving my community by helping with a very positive event that adds value through beauty to our lives, but it is really fun.  The atmosphere is friendly and upbeat. I have met many people who have become good friends through my years of volunteering. There is always time during or after a work shift to take a stroll, meet fabulous artists and see amazing art work. And the venue is incomparable! Every year, I pause to take a few pictures of a gorgeous view during the day, send it to my family and say "Can you believe how lucky I am to be here today?"
