La Quinta Art Celebration ENCORE 2025

SCOPE Events, LLC invites artists to apply to be one of the 170 premier artists for the 4-day La Quinta Art Celebration ENCORE held annually in November. The ENCORE Celebration draws art enthusiasts from the affluent Coachella Valley as well as patrons from elite California coastal communities, with timing that coincides with golf course openings and Veteran's Day holiday weekend. The promoters, Paul Anderson and Kathleen Hughes, bring a combined 50+ years of experience in art event production.

This is a commission art event where artists pay 20% of all art sales that result from participating, allowing for low booth fees with shared risk between promoter and artist. Every participating artist receives an Android tablet to track and report sales data in real time. The celebration runs November 13-16, 2025 from 10am-4pm, with registration November 11-12 and load-out November 16-17. Artists receive daily continental breakfast, deluxe boxed lunch, snacks, unlimited bottled water, volunteer golf-cart drivers for load-in, volunteer booth sitters, 24-hour security, and inclusion in the official event program.

Artists may apply in multiple categories including 2-D Mixed Media and Digital Art, 3-D Mixed Media, Ceramics, Drawing and Pastel and Printmaking, Fiber/Wearable, Glass, Jewelry, Painting, Photography, Sculpture, and Wood. All work must be original and for sale, with limited edition reproductions not exceeding 450 copies and original art occupying 80% of booth space. Awards include Best of Show ($2000) and Best of Category ($500), both including invitations to exhibit in Spring 2026 or ENCORE 2026.
