OTAS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides an enchanting space dedicated to fostering creativity and enriching lives through the creation of art. Our historical 3-acre artisan studio campus in the heart of Old Town La Quinta is a haven for artistic expression. Surrounded by tree-lined gardens, charming outdoor patios, and a cascading waterfall, people of all ages and skill sets are inspired to reveal their creativity and experience the healing power of art. The heart of our organization is our Mobile Mission Art Programs (Community Outreach) which bring art adventures all over the Coachella Valley, at little to no cost to the student, made possible through generous donations, grants and partnerships. We have programs for elderly, youth, Veterans, people living with Alzheimer's and people with a variety of other behavioral challenges. We depend on the generosity and support of our valued donors and volunteers to help to fuel the free and reduced-fee programs for our local residents in need. We also offer fee-based art classes and "Art of Music" concerts which help to support our mission
