THE ART OF SHOPPING
The Art of Shopping at La Palmera
La Palmera is home to some amazing original art created by local talent of all ages. In addition to each artwork simply being admired for its creativity and beauty, guests also frequently feature our murals and other wallscapes as photo backdrops.
The mall plans to continue working with local artists to provide a public forum for their creativity, adding to the amazing original work already in place throughout the property.
Thanks to all the great artists who have enhanced The Art of Shopping experience with these eye-catching, inspiring art displays.
