La Quinta Arts Festival, March 20-23

The La Quinta Arts Foundation (LQAF) this year recognized C Ribet as one of the Nation's top twenty-one photographers, and C Ribet and Gallery California exhibited work for sale at the annual La Quinta Arts Festival held March 20-23, 2003 in La Quinta, California on the grounds of the new LQAF site at 47-555 Washington Street in La Quinta, near Palm Springs in Southern California.

The La Quinta Arts Festival is one of the largest and most critically acclaimed outdoor fine-art shows in the United States.

"More than 250 juried fine artists from around the world will participate in what Sunshine Artist magazine ranked as one of the top three fine-arts shows in the country (1998). This nationally acclaimed festival convenes painting, sculpture, photography, jewelry, fine craft, drawing, printmaking, and other design categories with live entertainment, refreshments, fine wine, and children's interactive art activities."

"Set against the majestic mountains in the beautiful Southern California desert, La Quinta Arts Festival is ideal for viewing and enjoying the finest offerings of some of the world's preeminent artists."



San Anselmo Art Festival, June 21 & 22
On San Anselmo Avenue between Bolinas and Tamalpias Streets in San Anselmo, California.

"San Anselmo's central business district creates its own renaissance canvas of tree-lined streets, old-world lamps, shaded benches, and sunlit awnings. The true hub of the weekend is art, all original covering a wide palette of styles and genres. It's in the air in the form of jazz, blues, and country music rising off street corners and from village stages. You can even make some of your own in the arts-&-crafts area. Whether you take away the perfect piece for your bedroom or hallway, a full stomach and sleepy kids, or simply the memory of light and shadow painted by branches across a picnic blanket, you will return home with summer in your blood. And a promise to yourself to return next year."


For great food, fine art, and small-town charm, San Anselmo's Art Festival remains one of the Bay Area's best-kept secret escapes. It makes for one of those memorable weekend trips into all that summer promises. Once a railroad hub for freight on its way to the Sausalito docks, the town's restored "hub" now offers safe passage to the turn of the century. Just across the bridge and 100 years back in time.

Personal Note
On an off topic, I find that dried dragon fruit pitaya fruit sold as Trader Joe's Dragon Fruit at Trader Joe's market helps my diabetic blood glucose control - but Trader Joe's is always running out of their dragon fruit. If you ever visit a Trader Joe's make sure you ask for it - and harrass them if they don't have it in stock! It makes a significant difference for me in my personal battle against diabetes without drugs and medications.
