SCOPE Events, LLC invites you to apply as one of the 170 premier artists for the four day La Quinta Art Celebration ENCORE 2026 lakeside at the stunning La Quinta Civic Center Park which is 30 minutes away from sunny Palm Springs.
The ENCORE Celebration draws a different audience than the traditional March event. In November, La Quinta Art Celebration ENCORE attracts art enthusiasts from the affluent Coachella Valley as well as patrons from elite California coastal communities. The private golf courses open for the season two weeks prior to ENCORE Celebration, so the timing is perfect to attract the high-end homeowners who live in the exclusive gated communities that we target. A significant marketing budget is allotted to reach present and potential art patrons. We strive to curate the right mix of attendees who are true art collectors.
La Quinta Art Celebration ENCORE is a commission art event. This allows the event to offer participating artists low booth fees, lower up- front cost, and a fiscal risk shared between the Promoter and the Artist. Artists pay 20% of all art sales that are a result of participation.
Invited Artists Receive:
• Daily continental breakfast, a deluxe boxed lunch, snacks throughout the day, and unlimited bottled water
• Volunteer golf-cart drivers for load-in (they are not able to lift or carry your art and supplies)
• Labor available for hire to physically help with load in & out
• Volunteer Booth Sitters
• Artist Helpline available 24/7
• Artist Award Reception with gourmet appetizers, premium wine and Stella Artois; artist assistants attend for free
• Cash awards for winners
• 24-hour on-site private security as well as Riverside Sheriff onsite
• Artist information included in the official event program and on the event website
• Opportunity to purchase low-cost ads in event program & SW Art Magazine
• Knowledgeable, attentive, and helpful staff
Partnerships developed with 5 star hotel properties, increased marketing budget for social media campaigns, direct mail to most affluent gated communities, billboards on 5/405 freeways on the coast.
