Happy holidays from Old Town Artisan Studios!

We loved seeing your smiling faces at our 7th annual Gingerbread Lane!

This year, we had over 3,700 in attendance! Families from across the Coachella Valley came together to decorate cookies baked from the La Quinta High School Culinary Arts Academy, enjoy donuts from Painted Dough, watch live entertainment from groups of all ages, paint their own pottery—and of course, meet Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Thank you for sharing the holidays with us and making this year the best yet!

IN 2025, WE PROVIDED MORE THAN 29,000 
ART EXPERIENCES!

That's over 1,500 more than last year!

We are proud to share the results of our combined efforts this year to bring art experiences throughout the Coachella Valley. Each experience represents a unique opportunity for an individual to explore their creativity, learn new skills, and express themselves through art.

OUTREACH IN ACTION

“I like the art class because it got me into pottery, and now I want to do it forever.”

- Lorelai, 3rd Grade, John F. Kennedy Elementary School

This season, we doubled our YMCA and Boys & Girls Club programming, increased on-campus classes, led two workshops with Amelia Earhart Elementary’s Special Needs program, provided Spanish language instruction, and led an inspiring Veterans Day workshop at the George Patton Memorial Museum.

In the new year, we are committed to reaching even more students and continuing our commitment to providing inclusive and accessible art experiences for all.
