Artisans at the Pueblo

Cabot believed in creating and nurturing an artistic community. In this spirit, we invite local artists to Cabot’s Pueblo Museum to share their artwork with Desert Hot Springs and the wider Coachella Valley. Artisans at the Pueblo embody Cabot’s vision of bringing art, culture, and people together. Local artists will be part of our storytelling evening.

Community Programs
April 22, 2023-Earth Day
Cabot believed in cultural respect and these programs capture the essence of sharing culture with each other and the community.
Earth Day is a special day when we honor our planet by exploring the museum's grounds in search of plants and evidence of animals.
