2026 - 2nd Quarter



News


We hope everyone is having a nice spring. It has already reached 110 degrees here in Palm Springs, but has recently settled into the high 80s - low 90s.


Since shipping fees from the US are constantly changing, we are currently shipping all items free of charge to the US and Canada, and unframed fine art prints to the UK.

Out and About

 


We stayed kinda close to home for the last 3 months. We had 4 very successful shows in Palm Springs, including the Palm Springs Modernism Show at the Convention Center, which draws celebrities of all types; we're not naming names! Additionally, we had 3 shows at Frances Stevens Park, produced by West Coast Artists, with whom we've been working since CARLV12 began in 2019. We did make our annual spring pilgrimage to the Tempe Festival of the Arts. The show has become very special to us because of the staff, volunteers, and amazing crowds in Tempe. It happens twice a year in March and December, and this was our 9th appearance.
