Get Out: Weekend Events begin at the Street Fair

May 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Indio, CA. – California artist Jackie Jacobson has announced her last weekend at the College of the Desert Street Fair in Palm Desert. Jacobson says, “For the first time in 9 years, I’m taking off 4 months from the Street Fair. This year I need new paintings, and I can’t fit painting into my schedule. So I’m taking the summer off, painting and putting together a group of new art prints.”

College of the Desert Street Fair, Palm Desert CA. –Artist: Jackie Jacobson

May 29th and 30th will be a wrap up the season shopping event at booth #75 – College of the Desert Street Fair. “To celebrate with my collectors” say Jacobson, “I’ve decided that I’ll make it one of the really big weekend events. People come to COD Street Fair for special shopping opportunities. And this year, they will find that special opportunity in our booth. I  don’t want to pack up all the canvas prints for 4 months. They can’t be seen or enjoyed in our warehouse.”
