Eggstravaganza 2023

Eggstravaganza  Art Show & Auction

Artwork Submission Deadline: February 17, 2023

Eggstravaganza Opening Reception:  March 16, 2023 from 5:00-7:00 pm

Eggstravaganza Auction Dates:  March 16 – 31, 2023

So, what is Eggstravaganza?

Each year, hundreds of ceramic eggs are transformed into works of art and then auctioned off to raise funds for the Outreach Program of Old Town Artisan Studios. The EGGStra-spectacular collection features artists from our local community, as well as artists from across the nation. The show is presented both online and in person, in the Leland Gallery on our campus.

The best part of Eggstravaganza? It is ALL for a good cause! Hundreds of talented artists partner with us to help spread art enrichment throughout the Coachella Valley. 100% of the proceeds are used to fund our extensive outreach art programs. By participating in the auction, your donations go directly to serving afterschool programs, classes for those with special needs, activities for seniors, and more. Within the last two years (even through a global pandemic), we have been able to provide over 50,000 art experiences to our local community! So be sure to read on for more information about the eggs-illerating Eggstravaganza Art Show and Auction of 2023!
