Umbrellas open for art displays

ALDRICH M. TAN • The Desert Sun • November 8, 2009

Seventy-three artists filled the streets of Old Town La Quinta on Saturday for Art Under the Umbrellas.


That is the largest number of artists at the art festival since it started in the 1990s, La Quinta Arts Foundation Executive Director Christi Salamone said.

“The foundation has a great reputation for mentoring artists and providing them a place to sell,” she said.

San Diego painter Helen Hawes said she keeps coming back for the nice venue.
