Phrases like this have become all too familiar in the era of Covid 19, as we have struggled to make sense of this extraordinary shared experience that is 2020. The La Quinta Museum has invited local creatives to explore the questions we’ve all been grappling with through art and poetry. In this online exhibit, experience the work of 35 artists and 15 poets as they express the insights they’ve gained through these Uncertain Times.
Features Cahuilla Indian and local La Quinta history.
