From stunning sculptures to breathtaking murals, the City of La Quinta offers desert dwellers and tourists alike the opportunity to enjoy some truly one-of-a-kind artwork.
Chromaplex, Kas Infinite
Saturated in vivid color and bursting in rays of orange and blue, "Chromaplex" is a visual feast for the eyes. This mural beckons the attention of any passerby and its kaleidoscopic pattern feels right at home against its desert backdrop. Located at The La Quinta Public Library, this mural was created by local artist Kas Infinite, Chris Sanchez.
Sun and Moonbeam, Louis De Martino
This abstract sculpture stands tall and creates dramatic shadows as the sun sets. Symbolizing the sun and the moon, this bronze sculpture also has local touch. Residents were invited to design some of the pattern tiles that make up the bottom half of the sculpture. "Sun and Moonbeam", created by Louis De Martino is located on the La Quinta Civic Center Campus.

Roadrunner, Goldenvoice
Massive and regal, "Roadrunner" is sure to turn heads. With feathers made of giant reflective metal, this sculpture carries so much personality and charisma in its beak! Catch a glimpse of "Roadrunner" at the traffic circle on Jefferson St. & Avenue 52 in La Quinta.
Arches, Aedwyn Darroll
Seven bright-colored arches, birds, and palm trees; this artwork looks straight out of a cartoon! Picture perfect, this sculpture holds a uniquely La Quinta quality in each and every arch. "Arches" is on display for all to enjoy at Fritz Burns Park.
Hydra, John Cuevas
This massive mural features a long and winding technicolor graphic snake sliding through a wall. Geometric shapes and pastel gradients decorate and emphasize the space around the snake. Every single space of this piece offers something new and exciting to look at. Find "Hydra" at the intersection of Avenida La Fonda and Main St., La Quinta.
Volta, John Cuevas
Another John Cuevas creation, "Volta" is a mural that explodes with psychedelic color! The rainbow, brain-like branches of a tree give way to paintings of local cacti and the names of popular authors such as Octavia Butler and artists like Yayoi Kusama.

Cahuilla Family, Felicia
"Cahuilla Family" honors the indigenous history of La Quinta with a life-size bronze sculpture of five Cahuilla women.
