La Quinta Arts Festival is structured as a commission show requiring you to pay 20% commission of all art sales made at, or as a result of participating in La Quinta Arts Festival.

A low booth fee of $275 for a 12×12 space means minimal up-front investment to participate, and allows LQAF to be successful only if the artists are successful.

Steered by its non-profit mission of “Promoting and Cultivating the Arts” since 1982, La Quinta Arts Foundation uses proceeds from La Quinta Arts Festival for programs and activities that support artists, educate art students, and for cultural enrichment programs for all segments of the community.

LQAF has provided scholarship funding of
$910,502 to visual arts college students to date!
