Story from the La Quinta Gem.

Support for arts in education will once again be the theme for the Desert Sands Educational Foundation’s CAMFest on Saturday, December 14, 2019 from 9:30 am – 4:00 pm at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The event raises funds for arts and music programs throughout the 34 Desert Sands Unified School Districts schools. Students from kindergarten through high school can be found on four stages, in dance areas, at art displays, and – new this year – in the film gallery. Performances range from choir to band to theatre to dance to the graphic and fine arts. In addition to the student performances and displays, professional musicians take to their own stage to enhance the arts experience. Pre-sale adult tickets are $10; children (3-18) $3. On-site adult tickets are $20; children (3-18) $3. Tickets can be purchased by visiting at www.DesertSandsEF.org.

For more information call 760-609-4633. Net proceeds from this event will benefit the arts and music programs in DSUSD. Desert Sands Educational Foundation builds unity through the arts.
