The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has completed work on the 2024 edition of its on-site art program. The acclaimed event is taking place across two weekends: April 12–14 and 19–21.

The three artistic works are described by the festival as "redefining the boundaries of large-scale art, inviting festival-goers to engage with visionary works that ask viewers to question their definition of self, explore the boundaries between reality and imagination & take part in creating a new future together."

"Monarchs: A House in Six Parts" by HANNAH explores the fusion of 3D printing with traditional craftsmanship, comprising a series of pavilions that “invite interaction and contemplation.” A collaboration between Cornell University professors Leslie Lok and Sasa Zivkovic, the piece reimagines architectural design through the lens of digital fabrication and natural inspiration.

"Dancing in the Sky" by Morag Myerscough is centered on the "joy of collective experience" comprising a vibrant, geometric plaza that draws the eye upwards to the desert sky. The latest edition of Myerscough’s bold, colorful works, "Dancing in the Sky," creates a "dynamic environment that encourages exploration and engagement, making every visitor a part of the art."

Finally, "Babylon" by Nebbia is designed as a study in contrasts, blending ancient architectural forms with futuristic design elements. The work of London-based architects Brando Posocco and Madhav Kidao, Babylon is described as a "monumental structure that serves as both a visual landmark and a sanctuary of shade and light, inviting festival-goers to lose themselves in its intricate, otherworldly beauty."

"Each year, Coachella strives to push the boundaries of what a music festival can be, and our art program is a vital part of that vision," said Paul Clemente, Art Director for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. "The 2024 installations are not only visually stunning but also deeply interactive, offering new ways for our audience to connect with art, with each other, and with the environment around them.”
