The Indian Wells Arts Festival arrives in Coachella Valley March 31, staying three days for a display of amazing art from 25 countries and five continents, spanning 28 art mediums. The Indian Wells Arts Festival describes itself as “a first-class ticket to explore some of the most culturally exquisite traditions in art from around world in just three days.”

“It’s a privilege for us to spotlight long-renowned and up-and-coming artists who may be just one collector away from being discovered,” said Dianne Funk, producer, Indian Wells Arts Festival. “Knowing that our artists travel thousands of miles from the other side of the globe, hundreds of miles across state lines or 10 miles from either end of the Valley to be in the show is phenomenal and part of the fun for the thousands of art-lovers who come to see and collect their incredible art each year.”

The Indian Wells Arts Festival kicks off the Coachella Valley’s arts festival season each year at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Now in its 15th year, to celebrate, the first 25 guests at each Eggs + Champagne in the Garden brunch will receive a commemorative wine flute and access to RumChata and Champagne circle bars.

Artist demonstrations during the event include glass-blowing, textile weaving, pottery throwing, print making and more. Original production artisan products such as organic beauty products and epicurean oils and vinegars are available for purchase at the Gourmet MarketPlace.

The event is open daily 10 a.m.–5 p.m., with gates closing at 4 p.m. Children attend free; adult tickets are $13.
