About Palm Desert: Located just over 100 miles east of Los Angeles, Palm Desert is a premier resort destination and year-round  community  located  in  the  heart  of California’s  Coachella  Valley,  comprised  of  9 cities, each with a distinct character. At the west end  of  the  valley  is  Palm  Springs,  known  for midcentury   modern  architecture  and   historic connections to Hollywood.  To  the east is  Indio with abundant    farms    and    striking    murals depicting contemporary Latinx imagery.

About the Project: The  sculpture(s)  in  this  roundabout  will  be  the  focal  point  for  San  Pablo  Avenue.  The roundabout will serve as the transition from the commercial area into the residential area. Illuminated artworks and multiple sculptures are acceptable as outlined in the specifications below. Sculptures with water features will not be accepted.
