 "about": "At OTAS we believe in the healing power of art. Our mission is rooted in making art accessible and attainable for all, regardless of age, ability, or financial circumstance. Our beautiful art campus is a place of inspiration, where every brushstroke and moment of creation makes transformation not only possible\u2014but inevitable. At the heart of our work is compassion, cultivating a safe and supportive environment, where healing begins and transformation unfolds.\nOTAS 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.\nThe 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.\nWe 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\nTestimonials\n\"I have been coming to the studio for 10+ years. I like creating items out of clay, especially the Totem pole. I have met some very special friends during our class. I really love coming to the studio.\" - Adult Special Needs Ceramics Student\n\"OTAS was a total lifesaver for me and my husband. Being a caregiver for the person living with dementia can be very isolating and what we both loved was the camaraderie in the classes. I can't say how important these classes are in our lives.\" - Caretaker",
