A COMMUNITY ‘AFFAIRE’ TO REMEMBER by Scott Palermo + Jim Sanak	Comment (134)

Few things beat a day in the park. Add hot art, cool jazz, and flowing wine (and beer) and you have the ingredients for Rancho Mirage Art Affaire (Nov. 12 -13). The Rancho Mirage Parks and Recreation Commission invites you to celebrate a weekend of creativity and community free of charge and embrace the intimacy that separates it from larger art festivals. The “affaire” attracts juried artists, top notch jazz musicians, local restaurants, civic organizations, and appreciative crowds.

More than 8,000 attendees walk the tranquil grounds of Whitewater Park over the course of the weekend. From 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., art lovers gather under brilliant November skies, absorbing the talent of more than 80 new and returning artists.
