La Quinta Art Celebration ENCORE 2026

La Quinta Art Celebration ENCORE 2026 brings a juried field of painters, sculptors, glass artists, and jewelers to the lake and lawns of La Quinta Civic Center Park. The November Encore edition is the smaller sibling of the March show, pairing direct access to artists with wide views toward the Santa Rosa Mountains.

Why go

• Juried fine art: The fair focuses on work by painters, sculptors, glass artists, and jewelers.
• Buy from the source: Artists sell directly, giving you a chance to ask about the work before choosing a piece.
• Park setting: The lake, lawns, and mountain backdrop make browsing feel more relaxed than an indoor hall.

What to expect

Think of this as an outdoor art fair with a clear visual rhythm: displays of fine art spread around the civic park’s open areas, paths near the lake, and the Santa Rosa Mountains rising beyond. The smaller November Encore edition should feel manageable for people who want to look carefully rather than race through a huge marketplace. You can move among different media, compare a painting with a sculpture or piece of glass, and speak directly with the people offering the work. It suits collectors as well as visitors who simply enjoy a walk through art in a distinctly La Quinta landscape.

Know before you go

• Allow time to browse several media, from painting and sculpture to glass and jewelry.
• Because artists sell directly, ask questions about a piece before you make a purchase.
• Wear comfortable walking shoes for the park’s lawns and pathways.
