Transforming rocks into art.

Quartzsite, AZ –Proud Neighbors of Quartzsite (PNQ) sponsors their first event, “Rockin’ in Quartzsite! A Celebration of the Arts” on Saturday, October 24, 2009. Proud Neighbors of Quartzsite kicks off this new public art event with the opening of the “Rock Motel”, where “Boulder Art Pieces” will be painted and decorated by local artists.

Integrating National Make a Difference Day, PNQ brings together the Quartzsite Women’s Club’s “Walk for Education” and the Red Hat Run-Abouts’ “Walk for Cancer Research”. Both walk-a-thons will end at the “Rock Motel”, a converted warehouse where the painting and fun happens!

This family event includes Rock Games, Rock Painting, entertainment, food, crafts and more! The Rock Motel is open 9am-3pm. Admission is only $1 plus one non-perishable food item for Quartzsite Food Bank. Participants in the two walk-a-thons get in free.

On Saturday, March 6, PNQ holds a “Rock Auction” to find new homes for the “Boulder Art Pieces” and the People’s Choice Award will be announced.

Quartzsite is known worldwide for its rocks and shows! Expanding on this theme, locals and visitors alike will find themselves looking for the Boulder Art Pieces throughout town, using a “Rockin’ in Quartzsite Map” bringing folks from one end of town to the other.

ROCKIN' IN QUARTZSITE! - A Celebration of the Arts -
We would like to acknowledge the GFWC Quartzsite Woman's Club for scheduling their "Walk for Education", the Quartzsite Red Hat Run.Abouts for their "Walk for Cancer Reseach" and the VFW Annual Town Wide Cleanup on October 24th the "National Make a Difference Day".

This seemed to be the perfect day for us to join with these National Organizations, by scheduling our first event "Rock'n in Quartzsite, A Celebration of the Arts", to coincide with this nation-wide celebration. This event was designed to help extend our "Season" both in the Fall and a little further into the Spring. But more than just an extension of our Visitor Season, we hope that combining this event with those of other local activities will provide the "vision of partnering together for a better community"!
