Alex Haagen IV didn’t start off with such grand plans. “Friends would gather at this back lot during the Coachella Music Festival to hang out. We would have a nice fire going, just enjoying the music. After a while I thought maybe we should build a stage back here, upgrade it a bit. It wasn’t long before I turned that thought towards an old date packing plant that sat nearby.” With a clear vision in mind, Haagen began renovations on the former Da Vall date packing plant behind the Hacienda del Toro. “I wanted to take the vibe of Coachella, mix it with the Sunset Strip of the 70’s and give live music a home in the valley; a place where both local and touring bands can perform.” The Date Shed opened its doors to the public for the first time on November 25, 2011. 12 His industrial approach has transformed the shell of a cinder block structure into a high-tech, minimalist lounge and club with all the requisite accoutrements. Inside, The Date Shed features lounge space, a full-service bar, a DJ booth for turntablists to drop plenty of phat beats, and a professional grade stage for live music. The Date Shed’s party and club space can be scaled for smaller, more intimate groups, or an all out, all night rave-a-thon. And when the backbeat winds down or the band takes a break, respite can be found outdoors on the covered patio for chilling out with friends near the garden. AS THE VENUE HAS EVOLVED, THE PROMOTERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STRIKE A CAREFUL BALANCE WITH THEIR MUSIC LINEUPS. NATIONAL NAMES HAVE BECOME THE NORM FOR THE DATE SHED, RECENTLY DRAWING ACTS SUCH AS THE EXPENDABLES, SAGE FRANCIS, AND WARREN G. But Haagen understands there is a middle ground in finding performers. “We like to book the up-and-coming talent as well. There are a lot of great artists that just need a venue to showcase what they can do. We offer it to them, and hopefully when they make it big they will remember that we were a part of that and come back.” The Date Shed doesn’t forget about the local bands either. This year they hosted one of the qualifying rounds for Tachevah, a local block party sponsored in part by Goldenvoice that allows a local band to perform at the Coachella Music Festival. This year that spot went to Alchemy, a local Indio band that came through The Date Shed qualifying event. The venue has certainly caught the attention of local music lovers. Tracy Dietlin, Publisher of CV Weekly, a publication that focuses on entertainment in the valley, gives The Date Shed high marks. “The Date Shed is the premiere live music venue of the desert. Because it boasts a large stage, professional sound and lighting, an actual relaxing green room along with a separate private VIP room with its own bar, a large outside patio area and a bonfire pit, it makes it ideal for both local bands and touring bands to want to perform there. With a 667 person capacity it is especially enjoyable to watch our favorite touring bands play an intimate venue.” Now in its 5th year The Date Shed is establishing a desert legacy that is uniquely its own. “I really want people from the area, especially the east valley, to come and enjoy the music” says Haagen. “I think over time the venue will definitely evolve, but I can’t see it straying far from its roots. First and foremost it’s about good music.” That it most definitely is.

FROM LATE NIGHT POETRY READINGS AT THE COACHELLA VALLEY ART CENTER, TO THE HISTORIC DATE GARDEN OF SHIELDS, INDIO HAS AN ENTERTAINMENT SCENE ALL ITS OWN. COME OUT AND SPEND A DAY IN INDIO, AND YOU MAY JUST FIND THE DESERT LIFESTYLE GROWING ON YOU. DATE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD A testament to its roots, Indio remains synonymous with the date industry. Dates have been a staple food of the Middle East for thousands of years. They are believed to have originated around Iraq, and have been cultivated since ancient times from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt, possibly as early as 4000 BC. In more recent times they have found a home in the dry climate and ample sunshine of the Coachella Valley. The Indio area is host to one of the region’s most famous date gardens. OASIS DATE GARDENS This 175-acre working date garden is home to the Medjool and many other delicious varieties of dates. Founded in 1912, Oasis Date Gardens has grown to include a large packing house and retail store. Oasis Date Gardens has developed a reputation for excellence and quality, developing a distribution network that spans from the Far East to Europe. Don’t miss the opportunity to sample their delicious fruit. 59111 Highway 111 Thermal (10 minutes from Indio) 760-399-5665 oasisdate.com 14 SHIELDS DATE GARDEN Floyd and Bess Shields came to the California desert in 1924 and started Shields Date Garden, working long and hard to build up their business and educate their customers about date culture. In the beginning, Mr. Shields would give a lecture in the garden. As the popularity of his lecture grew, Mr. Shields incorporated a slide show, then recorded his presentation in conjunction with the slide show so that the show could be run several times a day. Today, the 15-minute film ‘Romance and Sex Life of the Date’ shows continuously during store hours, where you can still hear Mr. Shields talking about his favorite subject: the Date. Complete with a café, retail store, and walking garden, Shields is one of the Coachella Valley’s top tourist destinations. 80225 Highway 111 Indio 760-347-0996 shieldsdategarden.com DESERT HISTORY Studying the history of the desert region you find many footprints in the sand that created the desert paradise we know today. The Native American people who inhabited the desert region for centuries left their mark on early desert life, including agriculture and water conservation. Early railroad workers laid the groundwork for industry to make its way through the valley and spur the rapid growth of California. Even General George Patton left his mark, training his troops at the Desert Training Center in preparation for what would eventually lead to important victories in Africa and Europe. History is all around you in Indio.

In 1957, eleven like-minded polo enthusiasts got together and purchased 38 acres of land that did not fit into the Eldorado Country Club masterplan. The club began as a modest little venue but soon grew in popularity drawing players from far and wide. In 1979 the club land became desirable for development and it is now the site of the Vintage Club. It was time to move and with that challenge came an opportunity to expand. The original owners along with five additional members purchased the current site on Madison Street in Indio which has been home to Eldorado Polo Club for more than 30 years. With expansive mountain views at the east end of the Coachella Valley, the club seems to be a paradise for international guests, the near-perfect back-to-back daytime temperatures offering idyllic conditions to play polo during the Winter months. Los Angeles is a scant two and a half hours on the freeway and Palm Springs airport half an hour away, but there is a magic feeling of isolation, of being a long penalty shot from the end of the world. Each November, large trucks and trailers carrying superb equine athletes from across the US descend upon Indio in order to set up shop for some of the most exciting and competitive polo in the country. A great sense of community fills the air at Eldorado as the club becomes home to more than 500 horses preparing for competition. In the crisp early hours of the morning, the mile-long track is packed with groups of horses trotting to reach peak physical fitness for tournament matches taking place January through March. The club boasts more than ten regulation grass fields, a stick and ball field, practice hitting cage, exercise track, and onsite stabling making it one of the largest polo clubs in the country. 18 Eldorado Polo Club offers varying levels of competition for players of all abilities. The peak levels of competition are the 12-Goal and 7-Goal Sunday matches which feature many of the top international players. There is also the Pro Pool amateur league as well as the Polo and Riding Academy for those looking to take up the sport. Many players have been known to take up the sport with no previous riding experience! Attending polo as a spectator has become synonymous with the desert winter lifestyle. Each Sunday, thousands of polo fans pour into Eldorado to feel the rumble of galloping hooves as players reach speeds of more than 35 MPH – all while maintaining control of a little white ball. Polo is, in fact, a contact sport and therefore it is often described as “hockey on horseback.” Players look to score through the uprights at each end of the ten-acre field. It doesn’t take long for first-time attendees to get wrapped up in the excitement of a match as spectators get up to speed with live play-by-play commentary from resident announcer Tony Gregg. Contrary to some popular belief, everyone is welcome to attend. Guests can enjoy the polo sidelines in casual comfort by tailgating. With a few lawn chairs and a picnic, you have your own perfect polo event. If you prefer to enjoy the spectacle of polo in style, a reservation in the Clubhouse may be more to your liking. Overlooking the main field, guests may enjoy a full-service restaurant and bar, with seating available for parties from two to 100+. The venue is also offered for special events. OPENING DAY AT THE CLUB HOUSE TAKES PLACE ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 10 AND CONTINUES EVERY SUNDAY (EXCEPT MARCH 6) THROUGH APRIL 3. GATES OPEN AT 10 AM AND MATCHES TAKE PLACE AT NOON AND 2 PM. ENTRY IS JUST $10 PER CAR. 19 BY MICHAEL FELCI A FESTIVAL IS DEFINED AS “A SPECIAL TIME OR EVENT WHEN PEOPLE GATHER TO CELEBRATE A SHARED CULTURE, FEATURING A PROGRAM OF EVENTS OR ENTERTAINMENT WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS.” For now let’s stay focused on Indio’s festival heritage, which dates back to the first Date Festival, held in 1921 – nine years before the city was officially incorporated. Back then, dates were a relatively unknown, exotic fruit in the Western Hemisphere, having been brought over from Algiers. Since 1947, the annual Date Festival has been held in February on the Riverside County Fairgrounds. Over the years, it has evolved to include live music performances by popular contemporary artists, the naming of Queen Scheherazade and her court, monster truck shows, carnival rides, rodeo events and more. THE CITY OF FESTIVALS IS DEFINED MORE SUCCINCTLY: INDIO. Another signature Indio event is the International Tamale Festival, which is held each December and holds the Guinness World Record for being the largest festival of its kind. Upwards of 130,000 tamale lovers fill the streets of Old Town to sample every type of tamale imaginable – from traditional fare to vegan and vegetarian options. Other activities include a classic car show, folkloric dancing and a variety of live entertainment for all ages. With all that to offer, it’s no wonder that the Food Network named it one of the top-ten food festivals in the country. In many ways the Coachella Valley’s fast-growing city is also its cultural epicenter, boasting a vibrant music and arts community, and a revitalized restaurant scene. Indio’s warm, year-round climate, picturesque scenery and flourishing youth population combine to make it a desirable tourism destination, attracting hundreds of thousands of revelers each year. That energy extends to the plethora of exciting internationally recognized events, which celebrate this unique community’s shared culture and bolster the city’s reputation. Make no mistake – Indio is the City of Festivals. However, it earned that reputation across the decades, as opposed to arriving pre-packaged with the inaugural Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in 1999. But we’ll get to that monster event later… 20 Thanks to Indio’s terrific partners, the city continues to host a wide variety of popular events each year, including The Southwest Arts Festival® Indio, the Rhythm, Wine & Brews Experience, and the Discover Indio Block Party. These celebrations not only serve to increase tourism to the city, they put Indio on the world stage. And the spotlight is getting bigger every year. BY MICHAEL FELCI Fall, 1993. The grunge explosion that began in Seattle just a few years ago has spread nationwide. Seemingly overnight, bands like Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Stone Temple Pilots are fixtures on MTV and have replaced Gun N Roses, Def Leppard, and Aerosmith on the charts. In October, Pearl Jam releases its second album, “Vs.,” which sells nearly one million copies in its first week, outperforming all other entries in the top ten combined. And yet, things are far from ideal for the newly crowned biggest band in the world. At odds with their record label and embroiled in a pricing dispute with Ticketmaster, Pearl Jam boycotts Los Angeles in favor of an unlikely venue two hours to the east. On Nov. 5, Pearl Jam performs for nearly 25,000 fans at Empire Polo Club in Indio. But like Woodstock, far more would later claim to have witnessed this seminal desert music event, which sowed the seeds for bigger things to come. Promoter Paul Tollett, whose company Goldenvoice booked Pearl Jam at Empire, was inspired to create an annual event based on the Glastonbury model: an outdoor festival with multiple stages and art installations. Tollett later articulated his vision: “Even before we looked at [Empire Polo Club], it hit us. We wanted it to be far. So you surrender. So you can't leave your house and see a couple bands and be back home that night. We want you to go out there, get tired, and curse the show by Sunday afternoon. That sunset, and that whole feeling of Coachella hits you.” Six years later, in October of 1999, the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival was born. The inaugural two-day event featured Beck, Morrissey, and Rage Against the Machine – all of whom would return to the festival in later years. After taking a hiatus in the year Y2K, Coachella returned in April 2001 and has been a mainstay in Indio ever since. Throughout its existence, Coachella has blossomed like a desert flower, first adding a third day and later a second weekend to meet the overwhelming ticket demand. With pop culture icons like Paul McCartney, Prince, Madonna, Kayne West, Jay-Z, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Jack White, Roger Waters, and AC/DC as headliners, it now stands as the premier music festival in North America, attracting hundreds of thousands each year. For many Coachella attendees, music put us on the map. And every April, all roads lead to Indio.

However, it wasn’t an artist or a band that kicked off this new golden age for country in the Golden State. It was a festival. Stagecoach: California’s Country Music Festival was founded in 2007 by Goldenvoice’s Paul Tollett as a sort of “cousin” of the wildly popular Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. Like Coachella, it’s held over a long weekend in April at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Unlike Coachella, Stagecoach showcases a variety of artists that fit under the wide brim of “country” – from mainstream pop to alternative, bluegrass, rockabilly, Americana, and even Southern Rock. Many of the artists have returned to Stagecoach over the years, citing the festival’s unique setting and welcoming vibe. The lineup for the 2016 edition includes Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Little Big Town, the Band Perry, and the Doobie Brothers. 22 But the appeal of Stagecoach extends well beyond the Mane Stage and Palomino Tent. Days before the gates open, a caravan of RVs with plates from all over the country begin rolling into town, ready to kick up a good time in the camping area. Like all great parties, it can get a little rowdy, but revelers say it’s the only way to experience Stagecoach. Throw in a barbecue contest sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Society and plenty of great local eats, and you’ve got yourself a good time in the warm California sun. In less than a decade, Stagecoach has grown exponentially to become the highest-grossing country festival in the world, attended by upwards of 60,000 country fans each day. And with additional land to stretch out and continued improvements to the infrastructure, that experience will only get better. FURTHER PROOF THAT CALIFORNIA IS COUNTRY.

Presented by Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, the Fair is an annual tradition for Coachella Valley residents, as well as the entire County of Riverside and beyond. It all started as a festival to celebrate the end of the annual date harvest in the desert region, the major commercial date-producing area in the western hemisphere. Over the years, it has become something families look forward to, knowing they have ten days of wholesome fun and entertainment every February, starting the Friday before Presidents' Day. During the early years, buildings with an Arabic motif were constructed and within two years an Arabian Nights Pageant and Queen Scheherazade contest debuted. These two events are still very much part of the Fair today. The Pageant runs every night of the Fair and continues to mesmerize crowds with a talented cast of singers and dancers in dazzling regalia. Today, fairgoers are entertained daily by live magic acts, a hypnotist, comedians, cooking shows and interactive exhibits that are available every day of the Fair. Two Carnivals await the entire family with extreme rides for thrill seekers, as well as rides for the young or young at heart. There are more than 60 food booths where you will be sure to find something that makes your mouth water. Last year, fairgoers enjoyed date shakes, cinnamon rolls topped with dates, deep fried dates wrapped in bacon, and let’s not forget Pink’s delicious and very unique Indio Date Dog. The Grandstand Arena is home to the hilarious Camel & Ostrich Races that continue to captivate audiences with their crazy riders and unexpected animal behavior. Bull Riding, Monster Trucks, Freestyle Motocross, and a Demolition Derby also entertain and excite audiences young and old. The Fantasy Springs Concert Pavilion always has an exciting line up. There’s no need to buy a separate ticket to watch these concerts because all headliner entertainment is included with the price of admission. Recent acts have included Brett Eldredge, Daughtry, Kool & the Gang, the Commodores, Ramon Ayala, and Los Tucanes de Tijuana.

The Festival, which continues to grow in size each year and generate national media attention, is held on the streets of Downtown Indio. The Indio International Tamale Festival has grown from a half-day event that drew 2,500 people to an event that now attracts more than 125,000. Many of the vendors are local non-profit organizations that represent churches and school groups as well as restaurants and renowned chefs. Approximately 70 tamale vendors selling all types of tamales (traditional, gourmet, and dessert such as strawberry, chocolate, date and raisin) will collectively sell more than 250,000 tamales during the festival making Indio the Tamale Capital of the Nation! There are another 150 vendors selling a variety of arts, crafts, and other holiday merchandise. Activities and entertainment include a carnival, rides, games, inflatable bouncers, rock climbing, a ‘Best Tamale’ competition with trophies in several categories, and a tamale-eating contest with awards for those who eat the most. 24 There is continuous music and dance throughout the festival on four different stages. A variety of acts are featured that include local and professional dancers, singers, and musicians. The festival holds two Guinness World Records. In 1999, Chef John Sedlar prepared the World’s Largest Tamale. The tamale measured one foot in diameter and 40 feet in length. In 2000, a second record was set when Guinness recognized the Festival as the World’s Largest Tamale Festival with more than 120,000 in attendance at the event. The Food Network TV show “All American Food Festivals” selected the Tamale Festival as one of the Top 10 Food Festivals in the nation! The Festival provides free parking, admission and entertainment for everyone. Come and spend some time with us during the first weekend in December in our warm winter sunshine. There is plenty of excitement and tamales, tamales, tamales! FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT TAMALEFESTIVAL.NET. Each year, thousands of people will arrive at the Cabazon Indian Reservation to celebrate Native American culture at the Indio Powwow. These events sponsored by the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians welcome visitors from throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico for what has become part family reunion, part cultural revival, and a thoroughgoing celebration appealing to everyone. The tradition of Indian dancing is ancient, but today's Powwows only developed in the past hundred years. The focus is dance – a series of open social dances called Intertribals, mixed with competition in several dance categories that were once part of spiritual ceremonies, preparation for war, healing rituals, or celebrations of triumph. Each Powwow begins by celebrating the traditional music of the Cahuilla people–the Bird Songs. The Bird Songs describe the events and experiences of their people from the time of the emergence of their ancestors and their migrations that followed. Young and old, they arrive from throughout Southern California and Arizona. They sing and dance individually and also together demonstrating a resurgence of a nearly extinct cultural heritage. They fill the Powwow arena, dancing; gourd rattles shaking in one rhythm with voices ringing out into the desert night. The Grand Entry time is a feature event of every Powwow. It is a wonderful procession of color and sound that was borrowed from Wild West shows and usually happens twice a day. Sounds overlap in layers. Men beat on a drum slowly at first, setting the pace, directing the movement, and sing in high-pitched voices. Underneath the singing is a rhythmic jingle, the sound of hundreds of bells on men's ankles and thousands of rolled-up snuff-can lids sewn onto dresses, all jangling with the drumbeat as men, women, and children dance. The dances are intricate and varied and each one has a special meaning or story. Powwows today are far more than a salute to the past. They provide an opportunity for the young to learn from their elders and carry on traditions. It preserves Native American traditions of sharing, hospitality and generosity.

Chalmers Real Estate Telemundo 15 31 FEATURED ARTIST STEPHEN SCHUBERT Have you ever sat around a table of great, simple food and wine and felt transported? Or gotten lost in a soft focus dream? That is what Los Angeles-based artist Stephen Schubert likes to explore in his work, utilizing a mostly unconscious process. Captivated by themes of transitions and transformations, Schubert’s abstracts are created on elevated birch panels with a technique that includes placing up to 15 layers of paint. His approach includes dragging a Spackle knife, board or other found object over the wood surface, then applying a topcoat of resin. He then begins this labor-intensive process all over again, which results in a painting with phenomenal vibrancy, great depth of color and surprising imagery. Schubert’s love of foreign cinema and attendance at film festivals around the world, watching different perspectives on screen as well as from the cities and towns in which the festivals take place, have provided stimulation and inspiration for his work. No stranger to television and film sets, his work was prominently featured in the Steve Carrell film, “Dinner for Schmucks.” Prior to becoming an artist, Schubert was an actor, the spokesperson for Lincoln Mercury and Macy’s, and a guest anchor on E! Entertainment Network. He also appeared in a classic Seinfeld episode. Specializing in custom work, he loves collaborating with designers and enjoys projects in high-end residential, hospitality and health care design.

From the gorgeous refrigerator crayon drawings as a little schoolgirl to my new style, scratchboard, I cannot look at something without wondering how it would look as art. My creations over the years have been primarily acrylics, but recently I have turned to scratchboard as it offers the promise of detail that I had tried but failed to achieve with paints. From my first use of finger paints and crayons to create kindergarten masterpieces, I have been in love with painting and creating. Unafraid to try new styles and techniques, I strive to evolve as an artist whether it is my acrylic paintings or my newest passion, Scratch Board Art. When I am not enjoying the rural life with my husband and my cats, you will find me in my art studio totally immersed in the creative process. David Palmer combines the vocabulary of Pop Art with an Italian Renaissance sensibility. His paintings are inspired by dreams and childhood memories, and a fascination with the physical world. Their surfaces reveal patches of underlying color, reminiscent of aging frescoes and peeling billboards. Associate Member WAOW Signature Member ISSA Signature Member IEA “When I start a painting, I don’t know exactly what it’s going to look like when it’s finished. I start with an idea, but at some point the painting takes on a life of its own. I continually discover the image as I work on it. It’s like having a conversation, or taking a walk in a new neighborhood.” SWAF BOOTH # 129 Utah, USA 435-635-9148 [email protected] sues-art.com Palmer’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the US, and appears in numerous public and private collections. He is the recipient of a MacDowell Colony Fellowship, an Artist’s Grant from the Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation in Brooklyn, and a residency at 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica. He has also created digital effects for over a dozen feature films, including Spider-Man 3 and the first Harry Potter movie. SWAF BOOTH # 907 & # 909 Pasadena, CA [email protected] davidpalmerstudio.com FEATURED ARTIST RICHARD CURTNER FEATURED ARTIST DIANE McCLARY Richard’s artwork writes epic poetry within the visual. For the past 15 years, California artist Curtner has created unique artwork for thousands of clients across the country, blending his artistic talents with his passion for the written word. His word collages are created by combining hundreds of cutouts of written text all pertaining to a particular theme. He scours through hundreds of highest quality magazines searching for colors, words, and phrases. Every detail in the collage is an individual cut out. Nothing is painted on or manipulated with a computer. Everything is cut out by hand with an X-Acto knife, glued together carefully, and then varnished. The end result is a distinctive form of artwork in which you can see something different every time you look at it. His works are a “green” art. All the materials come from donated magazines. “People would rather donate the magazines to me than have them go to a land fill. It gives the magazines a second life,” Curtner explains. He is motivated by a variety of themes. Lately he has been concentrating on cityscapes and figurative pieces. All of his figures in the artwork are faceless. This allows for a broader interpretation. People can put themselves in the pieces, or people they know. It allows for a greater connection between the viewer and the artwork. Richard Curtner is a resident of Coachella Valley. He exhibits full time throughout the United States. His unique word collages are displayed in museums, galleries (both online and off). They are in publication in international and domestic art magazines, books, and other media. The artist’s award-winning creations are prized worldwide by both private and public collectors. When painting, Diane McClary’s primary focus is on the color of the light that she sees in the scene. Diane’s painting style has been influenced by her past studies with the brilliant Russian impressionist, Sergei Bongart. Over time, Diane has evolved her own unique artistic style, which draws upon Bongart’s approach to painting and her own natural talents with color and composition. McClary is a plein air painter who favors the alla prima process of completing her on-location paintings in a single sitting. Later, working in her studio, these small, carefully rendered plein air paintings often become the inspiration for her larger works. SWAF BOOTH # 119 & # 121 Cathedral City, CA 760-861-7046 [email protected] curtnerart.com McClary paints a wide variety of subjects, with work that covers landscapes in various regions from the Pacific Northwest to the Desert Southwest, still life, and figurative studies. Her love of the light, color and unique characteristics of the desert has made her a year-round resident of the Coachella Valley. Diane’s home and studio is located in a beautiful spot at the top of the picturesque La Quinta Cove, where she paints and teaches her popular classes in impressionist and plein air painting. Diane has won numerous awards for her work and has had solo painting exhibitions in Washington, California, and Colorado, including the Frye Art Museum and Clymer Museum in Washington State. She was was the poster artist for the 2012 Southwest Arts Festival, and her work was chosen for inclusion in the national touring exhibition, “America’s Parks Through the Beauty of Art.” Her painting, "Unexpected Snowfall at Joshua Tree" won a Special Recognition award in the exhibition. Most recently, two of Diane’s desert paintings were featured in the critically acclaimed film, “Wild,” starring Reese Witherspoon as Cheryl Strayed. The story is about Strayed’s life-changing hike from the Mexican border north to Washington on the rugged and unforgiving Pacific Coast Trail. SWAF BOOTH # 530 & # 532 La Quinta, CA 760-771-6666 [email protected] dianemcclary.com FEATURED ARTIST WALTER WOGEE FEATURED ARTIST GUNN TRIGERE As a lifelong woodworker, Walter Wogee has made most of the furniture in his log home. Upon retiring from teaching science seven years ago, he took on the challenge of making a Maloof-inspired rocker. After making a few chairs, his wife and friends encouraged Wogee to enter a local art show in Lake Arrowhead, CA, where he won the best-in-show award, sold two rockers and received commissions to make two more. He recently finished his 40th rocker. Gunn started off her life as an artist making jewelry - sterling silver, hand wrought, one-of-a-kind. Initially she would purchase the stones that she would incorporate into her designs but later she got the urge to create her own cabochons thus being able to control the shape and the color herself. Glass was the answer to her desire. Hence she bought a kiln, glass and all the necessary tools to start on her new venture. Now, a few years later she has taken that idea a few steps further and created what she calls “wall jewelry,” an extension of his glass cabochons, the same but bigger. Big enough to hang on a wall or rest on a stand or an easel. She approaches each design as if it were a painting on canvas, overlapping colors to achieve a multitude of hues, shapes and patterns. This imbues her work with the subtlety and movement of watercolor, while retaining the richness and depth that is only possible with glass. However her canvas is glass and the pigment is also glass. In order to make the image permanent it needs to be fired to 1,500 degrees F which usually takes about 20 hours. Often a piece will require two firings, sometimes even three. Prices $145 - $875 Each ergonomic rocker created by Wogee is an heirloom quality creation that is both beautiful and extremely comfortable. Spending at least one month on each, he pays particular attention to selecting and matching each piece of beautiful domestic and exotic wood to enhance the overall design of the chair. All rockers feature headboards with special grain patterns and knots, deeply sculpted seats, laminated bent back slats that flex to fit your lower back, and laminated re-curved runners. Contrasting wood accents provide a special touch that emphasizes the leg to seat joints and elegant lines of the chair. Rockers are Wogee’s passion and each one is unique piece of functional art. He also makes other types of chairs, as well as tables, bedroom furniture and desks, and accepts commissions for special pieces that interest him.

Silvio comes from a long linage of artists including his father, uncle and grandfather – all in the arts or allied fields. His grandfather was a sculptor and his father an architect. His uncle manufactured mannequins and fine art statues. His mother presented him with a paint-by-numbers hobby set. As a teenager, he painted apartment buildings and houses to pay his way through college. He minored in art, taking up sculpting and watercolor. Silvio was a psychotherapist for 30 years, while also painting various subject matter including coastals, deserts and California foothills. Seeking a stronger statement and more involvement in art, he began oil painting in the late 1980s. Self taught until then, frustration with limited skills motivated him to seek outside instruction and he studied with Kenn Backhaus, Ron Rencher, George Strickland, Jove Wang, TM Nicholas, and Robert Sandidge. He began winning awards for his art in the early 1990’s and began entering plein air events in 2001 where he won an honorary mention at the Carmel Art Festival and numerous awards over the past 13 years. He also began teaching other artists in order to share his gifts and skills. He spent time in the desert as a child and seeks to render increased beauty in his desert paintings. His work is featured in galleries across the country and his studio is open by appointment. Commissions are welcome either from a photo or on location. Elaine Trei’s love of nature and color can be seen across her entire portfolio of work. Whether painting still life or scenery, in watercolor or oils, Trei’s enthusiasm for her subject matter shines through. She translates views of flowers, landscapes, fruit and people through her own imagination, and the results are uniquely hers: slightly impressionistic, intensely colorful and always engaging. Numerous collectors have purchased Trei’s art, and she has earned first-place ribbons as well as other recognitions. She has exhibited throughout San Diego County and has been accepted into multiple juried shows, including the prestigious Rancho Santa Fe Rotary “Arturo” Auction through Christie's. Her work is well known in the San Bernardino mountain communities of Running Springs and Big Bear Lake, where she has exhibited in “The Gallery” and at popular annual outdoor shows including “Art on the Lake,” "Village Art Walk" and "Blues for the Zoo." Trei’s work will also be shown at the Artisans ETC. in Big Bear Lake, CA. SWAF BOOTH # 259 & # 261 La Qunita, CA 530-318-5454 [email protected] silviosilvestri.com "I paint happiness as an intuitive adventure,” explains Trei. "My paintings reflect the happiness I feel when I paint landscapes, flowers, fruit or people. I want the paintings to put a smile on the faces of people who see them, providing an ‘Ah-ha’ experience—a feeling of peaceful, joyful serenity. Enjoy!” Trei accepts requests for custom work from individual collectors, interior decorators and interior designers. She is currently considering representation and welcomes inquiries.

Specializing in the area of coronary artery disease, his work culminated in the discovery of a novel gene contributing to triglyceride levels in the blood. In 2002 he began experimenting with carving gourds and wood, finding a style that reflected his background in biology, and became a full-time artist in 2012. Doolittle’s artwork employs a unique and distinctive vision of nature and reflects a creative diversity of form and function, with no piece ever duplicated; most feature fossils or minerals that are integrated into the overall design. Each piece is conceived and executed by the artist alone, using gourds, exotic hardwoods and burls from around the world. Although his style involves intricate carvings and texturing involving many hours of bench work, he never employs laser or CNC machinery, crafting each piece using rotary burrs and bits as well as hand tools, such as rasps and chisels. After painting “for the joy of it” for most of her life, Terry Sauvé moved to San Francisco in 1996 to train formally at the Academy of Art College. Here she honed her craft, studying with some of the area’s best painters including Brian Blood, Craig Nelson, William Maughn and Randall Sexton. It was in 2000, when Sauvé participated in her first public art festival, that the doors to the art world flew open. One Sausalito’s best galleries immediately picked up her work, and she has since exhibited in galleries and shows throughout the country. Doolittle’s style and approach are greatly influenced by his background in biology and scientific research. His artwork expresses the dynamic form of growth and symmetry encountered in cells and tissues, as well as in whole organisms throughout the natural world. Rather than portray accurate biological structures in his artwork, he uses the reiteration of simple shapes and abstract forms to achieve the perception of organic complexity. His aim is for a piece to appear as if it arose by the process of natural growth. Wood seems a natural choice of medium for Doolittle, as it is derived from the processes of biological growth that are the foundation of his artistic style. SWAF BOOTH # 855 Joshua Tree, CA 661-433-5546 [email protected] markdoolittlestudio.com Today Sauvé focuses on painting the landscape. Feeling a deep connection with nature, she is inspired by the natural light falling over a scene. Capturing this magical quality of light is one focus of her paintings, as is “pushing” the color found in nature to enhance the painting. Her method includes taking photographs, making sketches and occasional color studies on location. From these references she works on larger finished paintings in her studio, where she transmits what she has absorbed from studying color and light in nature into her paintings.

October 14, 1937 – December 7, 2015 September 19, 1933 – September 24, 2015 Elliott Newton enjoyed careers in the fashion and retail industries, until a life-changing experience at the age of 53 connected him to his creative side. After studying pottery at College of the Desert, he was drawn to the magic created when the kiln reveals the alchemy of the high-fire slow-cooling crystalline glaze process. Newton expressed his creative vision with mineral color glazes applied to Asian and early Roman style forms, finding it to be quiet, healing and inspiring. A multi-talented artist with a wildly inventive imagination, he came to be known as the "Potter of La Quinta." Nancy Lee Whittemore grew up in the San Francisco Bay area, where her desire to be an artist was evident very early in life. Formally educated at San Jose State University where she majored in commercial art, Whittemore began experimenting with Prismacolor wax pencils early in her career, creating special effects that made her drawings look like actual photographs. The enormous versatility and incredible originality of Newton’s work created a strong impression at local and regional shows, earning him a ‘Best of Ceramics’ title at Fiesta Hermosa in Hermosa Beach and Art Affaire in Rancho Mirage. An exhibitor at Southwest Arts Festival, Indio from 2006 to 2014, his pottery was named ‘Best of Craft’ four years in a row and he twice served as a member of the jury. Newton, who taught pottery workshops during the summer, wanted his art to move people in such a way that they are pushed into some type of creative output. "I want my art to be prolific,” he explained. ”I want it to scream with outer beauty, but also to whisper softly – gently calling viewers to an inner peace. I love the product of my craft, its place in the world, and in people's lives." Newton is survived by his wife of 16 years, Tracey. 44 You’ll love what you see! A resident of Sierra Madre for 34 years, her greatest joy was her involvement with the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library’s annual Fine Arts Fair. In addition to being an exhibitor, she was on the Exhibits Committee as a juror and new talent scout. Whittemore was a Signature Artist with Women Artists of the West, and was recognized with numerous awards. She participated in a variety of art shows since the 1960’s, including the Sawdust Art Festival and Art-A-Fair in Laguna Beach, The Beverly Hills artSHOW, Sierra Madre Art Fair, Indian Wells Art Festival and the Southwest Arts Festival in Indio. Well-loved and respected in the art community, Whittemore’s works hang in many private collections. Art was within her soul, and her work transcended all boundaries: young children in a carefree world, people reflecting in their thoughtful moments, American Indian portraits, and her latest love...horses. She did not discriminate her subjects, and through the medium of art her spirit was connected with all indigenous human beings in the world. Whittemore is survived by her daughter Kelley Doyle Hanna and grandson Taylor Hanna. 45 Sponsored Content “I LOVE THIS CITY, THIS STATE, AND, THIS COUNTRY.” These are the prophetic words of Indio businessman Nachhattar S. Chandi who is fast becoming one of California’s biggest business success stories. April 9, 2016 marks the 25th year since Mr. Chandi’s arrival in the United States and the city of Indio. He often tells friends, family, and others “I came from India to Indio, and as they say, the rest is history.” HE IS PLACING HIS BETS ON INDIO. 2015 was a banner year for Chandi Group, USA. Mr. Chandi officially dedicated his new corporate headquarters in the City of Indio, making a multi-million dollar investment in a new suite of offices in the rapidly developing commercial center in Indio’s north side. Not far from his corporate office, one will find one of his three Indio ARCO AM PM gas stations, with convenience store and car wash, and directly across the street, along Jackson, is his soon-to-be open Dunkin’ Donuts franchise, the first of its kind in the entire Coachella Valley. Further west is approximately 80 acres of mixed-use commercial, retail and residential property known as “Northgate Crossing,” located at the intersection of Jefferson and Indio Boulevard, and regarded as the gateway to the City of Indio. The existing ARCO AM PM gas station there will soon be joined by other businesses. You would think most business owners would be happy with this pace of business growth but not Mr. Chandi. Let’s see what else he has in store for us. 82-338 HIGHWAY 111 INDIO 42334 JEFFERSON STREET INDIO Sponsored Content 41910 JACKSON STREET INDIO After spending just a few minutes with Nachhattar Chandi you realize just how much he believes in the City of Indio and that it is “the place to be” as the Coachella Valley and Chandi Group, USA continue to expand east along the Interstate 10 corridor. Mr. Chandi’s next project, “Golf Center Village,” is under development less than two miles to the east of his corporate headquarters, at Golf Center Parkway and Interstate 10. Golf Center Village spans 20+ acres and is designed to be an eye-catching retail and entertainment center for the residents of Indio to enjoy for years to come. Of course, it will include an ARCO AM PM gas station, convenience store and car wash – the basic foundation of Mr. Chandi’s business success story. But again, let’s see what else he has in store for us, as there is one thing you can count on with Mr. Chandi: there will be more. FEATURED PLANS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE MR.

For the next 18 months the entire volume of the Colorado River rushed downward into the Salton Trough. By the time engineers were finally able to stop the breaching water in 1907, the Salton Sea had been born at 45 miles long and 20 miles wide – equaling about 130 miles of shoreline. Salton Sea State Recreation Area covers 14 miles of the northeastern shore and has long been a popular site for campers, boaters and anglers. Varner Harbor within the SRA provides easy access to the sea for boating and water skiing. Kayakers, campers, birdwatchers, photographers, and hikers can enjoy the site's many recreational opportunities.

In 1987, a computer lab was introduced to the campus. Housed in a small building, it was a significant enhancement to the school’s academic program, ushering in the school’s effort to educate students using modern technology. The preschool was opened on campus in October 1996, making it the Coachella Valley’s first Catholic preschool. 65 YEARS AND COUNTING 1980s 2016 marks the 65th anniversary of the longest-running catholic private school in the Coachella Valley, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School and Preschool. 2016 will also be the year the school completes a long-awaited construction project to expand its preschool and open a new multi-purpose hall on campus. For a school that started out in 1951 as six rooms in downtown indio, Our Lady of Perpetual Help School and Preschool continues to grow by leaps and bounds. PRESENT DAY HISTORY The parish community that Our Lady of Perpetual Help School and Preschool belongs to laid its roots in Indio nearly 80 years ago when a Franciscan Mission was established on the site in 1928. Seeing a need for Catholic-based education, Father Joseph Mackey, parish pastor from 1948-1955, dreamt of building Our Lady of Perpetual Help School. On September 11, 1951, the area’s first Catholic school in the eastern Coachella Valley opened its doors to 218 students. The School Sisters of Notre Dame were entrusted to run the newly built school. The School Sisters of Notre Dame continued to serve Our Lady of Perpetual Help School for 45 years. On their five-acres, these women dedicated their lives to the education of Christian youth, leaving behind a strong legacy of Gospel values and academic excellence. 70 In 2007, OLPH school’s K-8 students and teachers moved into a new two-story, state-of-the-art complex, with upgraded computer lab, thanks to the generosity of private benefactors, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Martin. The school also acquired adjoining land to allow for future expansion, and it’s this future expansion that is now being realized today. 2007 2016 Today, approximately 260 students receive an accredited, faith-based education each year in our preschool program, transitional Kindergarten program, and grades K-8. Subjects in our K-8 curriculum include: • Religion • Family Life and Sexuality • Language Arts • Reading, Literature, and Phonics • Mathematics, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra • Science • Health and Nutrition • Music and Dance • Art • Physical Education • Social Studies • Spanish in Grades 6-8 • Computer Studies and Technology in Grade1-8 Weekly mass attendance, along with classroom and school-wide prayer services, continue to be an important part of the school’s culture. To nurture the whole student, co-curricular programs are available for student participation, including Student Government, a Sports Program, and Liturgical Ministries. FUTURE With a continued focus on preparing students for the world-at-large, Our Lady of Perpetual Help School and Preschool continues to acquire and teach students on the latest technology available. In 2015, the school was awarded the Anderson Children’s Foundation Grant for $10,000; the CBS Local 2 and H.N. & Frances C. Berger Foundation’s Coachella Valley Spotlight Award for $25,000; and the Caritas Telecommunications Grant for $20,000. All three awards helped outfit junior high school students with Chromebooks and upgrade the computer lab and administration’s computer equipment. The expansion of the preschool includes a brand new facility that matches the caliber of the K-8 school. The construction of a new Multi-Purpose Hall means that the campus will be outfitted with indoor sports facilities, a stage, and a full commercial kitchen. Throughout its history to present day, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School and Preschool continues as a non-profit, privately funded school that is a vital link to many people living in the Coachella Valley. Support through the giving of time, talent, and treasure from families, friends, parishioners, alumni, and local businesses have helped the Indio school thrive. With a commitment towards ongoing advancement, the school invites you to join us as our journey continues.
