For Artists

Located in the heart of the Greater Palm Springs area, the annual event is held at the world-renowned Indian Wells Tennis Garden, home of the BNP Paribas Tennis Tournament, in Indian Wells, California.

The festival’s reputation for museum-caliber art and high-quality fine craft along with its picturesque location and luxurious venue amenities attracts artists from across the country and around the world each year. More than 10,000 festival-goers attend the 3-day event as international tourists, weekend-getaway trekkers and day-trippers.

Annual reported art sales of $850,000.00 are fostered by the festival’s commitment to year-round marketing and artist promotion across multiple platforms. Artists can expect a pristine venue with paved walkways leading to tree-shaded booths on the grass; complimentary artist hospitality; easy check-in and set-up; express checkout; real-time live show updates via SMS; convenient free parking; finely appointed on-site restrooms; 24-hour security; and a cultivated attendance by art-enthusiasts, serious buyers and collectors.

The Indian Wells Arts Festival has been ranked as one of the Top 30 Best Fine Art Shows in the country by Sunshine Artist; Best of the Best by Palm Springs Life magazine; and ranked in the Top 40 in both fine art fairs and fine craft shows by Greg Lawler’s Art Fair SourceBook.

Indian Wells is located 17 miles from Palm Springs International Airport and is a two-hour drive from Los Angeles and San Diego. The City of Indian Wells is home to internationally recognized sporting and cultural events, world-class resorts, restaurants, championship golf courses and tennis courts.
