Every year in March Borrego Springs is host to the Circle of Art at Christmas Circle Park in the heart of the village. This fine arts show is free to the public and features over sixty artists exhibiting their quality paintings and art works representing a variety of media including oil and watercolors, photography, sculpture, ceramics, pottery, weaving and jewelry.

In March the desert wild flowers are in bloom in Anza Borrego, but that's only part of the color in Borrego Springs for the Circle of Art weekend. Over sixty five artists exhibit their quality paintings and art works at Christmas Circle, a grassy park centrally located in the Borrego village. The Circle of Art project began in 1989.

Circle of Art is a juried show of quality paintings and art works representing a variety of media including oil and watercolor, photography, sculpture, ceramics, pottery, weaving, and jewelry. Artists exhibit in a beautiful and relaxed environment. Booths are spacious and the layout achieves good traffic flow and interesting vistas. The volunteer organizers work all year to produce just this one show. The show attracts a large following of visitors from southern California including Palm Springs, Palm Desert and San Diego regions and is marketed in these regions.

The Circle of Art is sponsored by BASIC (Basic Assistance for Students in the Community) a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization providing educational scholarships for residents of the Borrego Valley. All proceeds from the Show go to the scholarship fund.
