Hosting 220 of the nation's foremost contemporary artists, the four day show attracts an affluent demographic and wealthy snowbirds who have second homes in the southern California desert. The festival runs concurrent with the HITS Horse Show which attracts the most accomplished equestrian riders in the world and is the weekend before the BNP Tennis Open March 8-21.  

 

Artists pay a show fee of 20% of all art sales made at, or as a result of participation in La Quinta Arts Festival.  A low booth fee of $275 for a 12'x12' space means minimal up-front investment to participate, and allows LQAF to be successful only if the artists are successful.
