This brings us back to the ceramic eggs, which were included in some of the 24,000 “Art2Go” kits that Old Town Artisan Studios has assembled for school students, seniors and disabled adults over the last troubled year. However, much remains limited, including most of the in-person elements of the arts-outreach program. The Leland Gallery will be open for in-person viewing of Eggstravaganza-with strict attendance limits and precautions, of course-and some classes, with size limits, are again under way. Nearly a year later, portions of Old Town Artisan Studios are again up and running.
“I wasn’t mentally myself, because it was so hard to see that beautiful place shut down, and families not coming,” Grund said. All of the eggs will be on sale, and the proceeds will fund the organization’s much-heralded arts-outreach program.Īs was the case with virtually every arts organization, Old Town Artisan Studios’ in-person operations came to a screeching halt last March, sending the three-acre campus into silence. More than 360 of those ceramic eggs-transformed by artists throughout the Coachella Valley and beyond-will be on display in Eggstravaganza, an exhibit and fundraiser taking place both online and in-person at Old Town Artisan Studios throughout the month of March. So, for holidays, we wanted to find something that was memorable … and so for spring breaks and Easter and that type of thing, we chose the little ceramic egg.” “If you ask (a group of) people, ‘How many of you have a piece of pottery that you made or your child made, or someone made, and you’ve kept it for 20 years or more?’ the show of hands is remarkable,” said Victory Grund, the co-founder of the La Quinta arts organization. For more than a decade, the ceramic egg has been the signature medium for art at Old Town Artisan Studios.
