See for yourself what over a million annual visitors discover every year: Indio ROCKS! 7 8 Stepping Through Time Entering the gates of the Coachella Valley History Museum, under the Valley’s oldest cork oak tree, is like stepping back in time. It is the only Museum in the Valley that covers the history of the entire valley, from Desert Hot Springs to the Salton Sea. Visitors can explore the 1926 Smiley-Tyler adobe home, originally the home and office of a doctor and later a dentist. Today the home includes rooms dedicated to a continuing exhibit of Cahuilla Indian artifacts and baskets, bygone scenes of the Salton Sea, the history of water and agriculture in the valley, the Southern Pacific Railway and its early volunteer Fire Department, and a 1926 furnished kitchen. Also on campus, the California Date History Museum, the former City Library building, houses exhibits relating to the date industry and the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival; This is the world’s only museum dedicated to the date palm and its fruit, tracing its history from ancient times in the Middle East through its importation to the Coachella Valley; 90% of the dates commercially grown in the United States are grown in the Coachella Valley. Attached to this building is the Medjool Auditorium, used for Museum and community events, and is the site of The 85th Birthday of Indio exhibit running from January to May 2015. 10 Liz Gardner Lindsay Throughout the almost two-acre grounds there are gardens relating to the eras of the Coachella Valley such as the Cahuilla garden, the Japanese garden, the varietal date grove, etc. Additionally, there is an art studio, a blacksmith’s shop, a railroad “submarine,” the 1921 Whittier Ranch Water Tower, a display of adobe wall construction, outdoor displays of agricultural equipment, and small storage and work buildings. The Museum is open October through May and admission is free the second weekend of each month. The Archives are open all year round and is available for research by appointment. Located at 82616 Miles Avenue, Indio, the Coachella Valley History Museum is open Thursday - Saturday, 10AM - 4PM, and on Sunday from 1 - 4PM, with free parking across Miles Avenue. Private and group tours are available by appointment. For information on the museum as well as its special events, call 760-342-6651, or go to www.cvhm.org. The Stars of Indio Some say the lights shine brightest in Hollywood, but the sparkle of talent and entertainment can sometimes shine bright in your very own neighborhood. That is the case in the heart of Old Town Indio where you can find the Indio Performing Arts Center, or “IPAC.” IPAC is a community theatre that serves to not only entertain the community, but to offer an outlet for the creative expression of performing arts to locals. The Indio Performing Arts Center is governed by a non-profit board of directors and sponsored by the City of Indio. This beautiful facility is truly a multi-faceted complex. The main Exposition Hall can host up to 300 people and serves as the main stage for large acts and performances. The facility also boasts three attached theaters that serve the visual and performing arts, one for live performances and two additional cinema theaters for movies. The facility is available through rental to the community for special occasions, but the primary purpose of IPAC is to serve up entertainment. During the course of the year you can catch comedy festivals, live band performances, and movie screenings. While keeping the community entertained, perhaps the best part of IPAC is the opportunity it provides to local artists to express their talent. “IPAC is one of the best locales for performers, featuring a variety of entertainment possibilities. Joshua R. Bonner It can be intimate and professional at the same time” says Ron Young, a local resident who performs on stage with his theater group. “Community theatre is vital in that it gives entertainment to the masses, allows people to see productions they might never have a chance to see otherwise, and it gives some of the greatest unsung talent a chance to perform. It is amazing how many people have great acting ability but will never get a chance to be in Hollywood or New York. This gives them the chance to be showcased locally.” IPAC also serves as a learning center for those who wish to tackle theater for the first time, or for those who just want to pick up a new hobby. Seminars on acting, stage comedy and many other art disciplines can be found throughout the year. If you have an itch for theater or simply want to take in a great live show, come out and visit the Indio Performing Arts Center. You will discover the local pulse of entertainment! For more information on the Indio Performing Arts Center, please visit www.indioperformingartscenter.org. You can also reach the theater by phone at 760-775-5200. The theater is located at 45175 Fargo Street in Old Town Indio. 11 Cabazon Band of Mission Indians Cultural Museum The museum gives visitors a chance to “walk in the footsteps of the ancient Cahuilla People.” It features artifact displays, hands-on exhibits and interpretive scenes of the Native Americans who originally inhabited the Coachella Valley.

Take your next adventure in Indio, you may just find the desert lifestyle growing on you. Date Capitol 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 BCE. 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. 12 Oasis Date Gardens This 175-acre working date garden is home to the Medjool and many other delicious variety of dates.

In the beginning, Mr. Shields would give his 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 www.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.

Empire’s lush gardens, grand polo fields, and majestic lake create an extraordinary oasis in the greater Palm Springs area that is a destination for the rich, the famous, and the discerning patron. Opening in 1987 as a world-class polo club, Empire Polo Club quickly earned acclaim as a luxury event destination. Its reputation grew as it developed into a setting for Fortune 500 corporate events and meetings, as well as some of the most extravagant luxury weddings ever envisioned. Superbly well-designed and stylish ceremonies have taken place on this vast estate that boasts over 300 acres and four exclusive venues, along with pristine polo fields. Private events can accommodate small groups for intimate affairs or transform into grand scale concert-like settings for crowds reaching 90,000. Monumental mountain views, gorgeous gardens, sensational statuary, art and landscaping give Empire an ambiance unlike any other in the Coachella Valley. According to Bianca Nolasco,Venue and Events Manager, “We are poised to create memorable custom weddings and meet any needs to bring a bride and groom’s vision to life. Our elegant natural setting becomes the backdrop for your blank canvas. Due to the size of the property and its open spaces, you are only limited by your imagination…the possibilities are endless.” 16 Michelle Roe Nolasco knows every inch of this beautiful property having grown up here as the daughter of Empire’s own grounds Superintendent. She has lived and worked at Empire for over 16 years, giving her a significant insight that allows her to craft exquisite celebrations as well as to provide the personal touch that many wedding planners seek. Nolasco’s special history also allows her to take advantage of the various aspects of Empire’s exceptional scenery. The Medjhool Lake area is a tropical paradise worthy of a Gatsby extravaganza. Privileged entrances that lead to meandering paths laced with lush greenery and secret nooks can be found in every corner. A hidden gem inside the property, the lake view venue is like a secret garden. Statues of winged horses and unicorns, peaceful benches, shaded terraces and an elevated stage surrounded by Roman columns are reminiscent of a Midsummer’s Nights Dream party. Big band sounds and soothing violin notes are both comfortable musical options depending on the desired mood. Under the soft luminescence of twinkling lights, bridges take guests through arbors and over koi ponds and lily pads to a splendid tented theatre gracing the polo fields. The tented structures are a part of a 46,000 square foot area aptly named, The Forum. The Forum can seat up to 5,000 and can be engineered to develop smaller venues, hide the back of the house production team, as well as provide protection from any inclement weather. Fine dining and impeccable table decor can combine with hi-tech stage production lighting and special effects to morph each area into a fantasy event. Situated among fountains, vintage gazebos, and over 700 rose varietals, romantics at heart have been drawn to Empire’s Rose Garden. A lavish lawn area fit for Victorian royalty, the Rose Garden is the perfect locale for an auspicious occasion. Empire staff can arrange for horse and carriage livery service for unforgettable arrivals to equal sophisticated garden and glamorous Hollywood era parties. Exchanging vows al fresco, dancing under the stars and relaxing fireside are just a few of the amenities to delight revelers. For those seeking a smaller, more rustic environment, Empire’s Hacienda Del Toro is the private equestrian enclave they are looking for. A circular entry welcomes guests into this inviting spot surrounded by palm trees that can be up-lit during the evening. A lovely fountain is adjacent to the grassy floor flanked by a large tented area. The openness of the space can encourage a traditional meeting as well as inspire an avant garde soiree invented, specifically, to tickle one’s fancy. Want a carnival atmosphere? A ferris wheel and fireworks? Cigar and chocolate pavilions, celebrity chefs, camel rides…a helicopter valet? Empire Polo Club has the capacity to deliver distinctive activities for guests where Exhibition Polo Matches or Golf Cart Polo games during rehearsals or receptions are not unheard of. It’s all been done at Empire, where all ideas are entertained, wondrous themes are explored and careful consideration is given to every detail. Nolasco says, “It’s your day to shine. Let your imagination soar and we will help you build something spectacular. We want to make your wedding dreams come true.” 17 Since 1994 Enjoy The Drive NEW REBUILD CUSTOM A Walk in Desert Paradise PRE-OWNED WE REPAIR ALL MAKES & MODELS Pickup & Delivery After 20 years of operating as All Custom Golf Carts in Palm Springs, we are just completing our brand new service and manufacturing facility here at AC Electric Vehicles (AC) in Indio.

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. The 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 recreation opportunities.

Growing up, he received an extensive private education while working alongside his father in a family operated business. In 1991 he made the decision to move from India and make California his permanent residence. Shortly after moving to Coachella in 1991 he met his wife, Susana. They now have four children. After coming to the United States, he accepted a position to manage “White’s Black Gold Gasoline” in Coachella. In 1995, after serving a short apprenticeship, he purchased the station he was managing. He was able to increase sales tenfold within months and finished its transformation to the current ARCO AM/PM on Harrison Street in Coachella in 1998. He continued to manage this operation and now employs more than 16 full-time employees at this one site. The ARCO AM/PM in Coachella has set Sales Records within BP/ARCO every year since its first year in operation. It is currently ranked the #5 BP/ARCO AM/PM in the Nation with revenues in excess of $16 million. Success Leads to Massive Indio Development Mr. Chandi has recently completed two projects in the city of Indio. The projects, Indio Northgate and Jefferson Petroleum, consist of two new ARCO AM/PM stations and car washes. Northgate itself is an investment of over $50 million that will encompass 363,000 square feet of mixed-use retail. The project, situated near the I-10 freeway, promises to change the landscape of the city of Indio and will be the largest development for Chandi Group USA, Inc. thus far. Future projects include a multi-unit development agreement with Del Taco. “My company is chiefly a labor of love” says Mr. Chandi. “The twenty years that I have been working in the gas station/fast-food industry have been a constant learning experience. Our experience with the Del Taco brand has been nothing short of successful from the beginning. They have grown tremendously in the past 50 years and yet they’ve managed to remain loyal to their promise of fresh fare at unbeatable prices. This is the recipe for success.” The Future of the Northgate Development The Chandi Group USA, Inc. is planning a 120-room hotel at its $200 million Northgate Crossing, an 80-acre mixed-use walkable community development utilizing “smart growth” concepts. Mr. Chandi said he envisions the commercial tenant mix to include small and medium sized retail shops, a grocery store, casual dining and quick service restaurants, a day care center, fitness/health center, surgical center with medical offices, and a nationally recognized full-service hotel with a conference center. The development also will feature a mix of styles of multi- and single-family housing with interconnected landscaped walkway promenades to instill a sense of community and enjoyment for local residents, visitors, workers and shoppers. Phase I included an ARCO AM/PM and Express Carwash, which opened last fall. 45 44 45 Call Indio Home Indio Ranked Among Best Places to Live Indio was the fifth fastest growing city in the state of California in 2013, little wonder when you consider all it offers. A warm winter makes it a playground for the rich and famous during our peak season, and our affordable cost of living welcomes families and a growing working class to make it home. Indio was recently ranked in the top 20 “Best Cities for Young Families in California” by a national survey group. The City of Indio ranked 17th and was the only Coachella Valley city on the list. The quality of its schools, strength of its economy, and value in its real estate are just a few of the reasons Indio is a great place to live.

Elizabeth Grosse Southwest Arts Festival Event Manager Jill Tremblay Chairwoman, Board of Directors 51 52 53 54 55 FEATURED ARTIST DELIA BRADFORD SUE KROLL Delia Bradford grew up in Big Sur, California the daughter of parents both making their living as professional artists. Delia would paint outdoors beside her mother. She does not sketch before painting. Rather, she starts right in with paint on canvas, blocking in the massive shapes first and then adding darks and lights to make the details appear. Delia prefers to paint directly in nature when she has the opportunity. Her work has been exhibited in many galleries throughout Northern California. In collaboration with her husband Rick, a master giclée printer, they produce affordable giclées on canvas of her work. By using the finest pigmented inks along with Fredrix archival print canvas, the quality and durability of her reproductions are second to none. Anyone who views her Impressionist Landscape and Floral paintings realizes her passion and vitality for life and for nature. Although her paintings are vibrant and colorful, they exude a peacefulness and tranquility that calms the soul. I have been in love with art all of my life. 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.

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. Silvio Silverstri is a plein air artist in the Southern California area who paints on location throughout United States and Europe. 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 thirty 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 thirteen 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.

His national schedule of top art festivals and his 7 portfolios of paintings can be found at olufnielsen.com. Oluf would become bored if he always painted in just one style like many artists do. He keeps it fun by moving forward, keeping his art fresh, cerebral, and creative. Over the past 30 years, his work has been collected coast to coast by hundreds of individuals and many corporations such as Apple, Boeing, AT&T, and IBM. Oluf loves coming to the Palm Desert because he can ski Mammoth Mountain on the way down. But besides his quiver of skis he will be bringing his new ‘Flow’ style paintings. These landscapes, escapes, and abstracts are frenetically painted while the entire painting is flowing with a gravity assist. This forms fractal detail, beyond what the eye can see. At first, every second counts as Oluf scrambles to grab palette knives, brushes, and more liquid paint. Eventually, the painting slows to the point that he sits back, pours a glass of whiskey and watches the fractal forms change as the paint slowly quits moving. When dry, the work is varnished. Also pictured are his textural oils that are painted with palette knives and transparent and opaque Cadmium oil paints from Holland. These paintings take months to dry in Seattle but would dry quicker, no doubt, in the desert. The lush color blends are worth the wait. Come to the festival or go online to see his newest works. SWAF BOOTH # 311 & # 313 Issaquah, Washington 425-369-9948 [email protected] olufnielsen.com 60 FEATURED ARTIST SARAH ANDERSON Sarah’s education is in design and fine art. After working in other mediums for years, she studied jewelry construction and design, finding inspiration from natural stones and unusual metals. She has a passion for found objects and searches for bits and pieces that will work into her designs to create a new dimension with each piece. Her creations are wearable works of art that incorporate many unusual components found in her travels both near and abroad. Many pieces are comprised of antique and ancient objects that contribute to the originality of the work. She personally designs each piece and has a wide range of necklaces, bracelets, earrings and wire-wrapped rings. The uniqueness in the design is paramount to the finished product making each piece a one-of-a-kind creation. SWAF BOOTH # 244 Rancho Mirage, CA 760-202-7286 [email protected] sarahsjewelrydesign.com 61 FEATURED ARTIST GUNN TRIGERE Gunn started off his 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 his own cabochons thus being able to control the shape and the color myself. Glass was the answer to her desire. Hence she bought a kiln, glass and all the necessary tools to start on his 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.

Currently he resides in Port Angeles, Washington on the Straits of Juan Defuca, couched at the foot of the Olympic Mountains on the Olympic Peninsula. Surrounded by the raw beauty of this area he is inspired as he pursues his Art path. He has been drawing and painting since he was a small boy, always in wonder of the world around him. He found art to be a language he could speak. He formally studied Fine Art in Southern California: drawing, painting, and sculpture. Painting called the loudest to him to pursue and so he has. He paints with acrylics on canvas and panels, pursuing a variety of subject matter for his work. He is inspired by water and landscapes and the figurative in his compositions, always leaving the door open for the unknown. Doug believes art is a vital life force that is to be pursued and a gift to be shared, for all people to see and be moved. “Live life like there is no tomorrow!” SWAF BOOTH # 841 Port Angeles, WA 360-477-0817 [email protected] dougparentfineart.com 64 FEATURED ARTIST BOZENNA & LUKASZ BOGUCKI We are artists/designers and our goal is to make art designing functional objects. Last ten years we have been dedicated to create a line of handbags made of stainless steel mesh. It is the most beautiful material, highly industrial and rarely seen, usually hidden in filtering systems. We are very happy to bring it out fo all to see. In order to achieve different coloration and effects, we use several grades of stainless mesh, oxidize it with fire, use mulit-layering, 23 karat gold leaf, copper, bronze and brass mesh, natural feathers, leaves, etc. Since nobody makes anything of it, we developed our own techniques and methods. It took us a couple years before we started to feel comfortable about this very demanding material and the longer we worked with it, the more we discovered new properties, applications and ways to achieve unexpected effects. We are still fascinated by this material after all these years no less than in the first days of our adventure. We call our line The Opera Collection. It consists of dozens of models named after famous operas. All work from design concept to the finishing touches is done in our Los Angeles workshop.

A multi-talented artist whose wildly inventive imagination has had a strong impression in the art of pottery. His commercial background and inner artistic abilities have not only awarded him as distinguished artist in La Quinta, California but claimed him the title "Potter of La Quinta." His enormous versatility and incredible originality are now being utilized to greater expand his works of Fine Art with a strong presence in local shows and galleries. After studying pottery at College of the Desert for five years, he was drawn to the magic created when the kiln reveals the alchemy of the high-fire slow-cooling crystalline glaze process. Mineral color glazes applied to Asian and early Roman style forms express his own creative vision. Making pottery is a quiet, healing and inspiring experience reflected in each of his individual pieces of art. He wants his art to move people in such a way that they are pushed into a creative output themselves. This is why he also teaches pottery workshops for students during the summer months. Elliott professes,"I want my art to be prolific. I want it to scream with outer beauty, but also to whisper softly - gently calling them in to an inner peace. I love the product of my craft, its place in the world, and in people's lives." His studio is in his home he shares with his wife Tracey of 15 years located at 54360 Avenida Ramirez in La Quinta, CA.
