Northwing Gallery
Palm Desert was the first city in Riverside County to create a public art program. In 1986, the City Council adopted an ordinance requiring developers to place art or pay a fee to the Art In Public Places fund for each new structure they build. These funds are used to purchase art for our community. The goals of the Public Art Program are to create an artistic harmony between the buildings, landscaping, and open spaces as well as serve the people of the community and visitors by bringing art into daily life. The Art in Public Places Commission serves as a technical advisory committee to Council, and makes the initial selection and recommendation of artists and artworks for public and private projects.

Accepting An Offer >Offers and Counter Offers
Many of the offers real agents submit for prospective buyers aren't exactly what the sellers want. The price may be lower than they are asking or there might be terms included in the offer that will require negotiation. What happens after the offer is submitted?
The seller's real estate agent will present the offer to the sellers, along with the buyer's qualifications. If the sellers accept the offer, then a purchase agreement is written and signed by both parties. If the sellers counter the offer, the next action is initiated by the buyers when they make a response, either accepting the counter offer or countering it with yet another figure. If you want to buy a particular house, your chances of succeeding are greater if your initial offer is as close to the asking price as possible. You could save money by engaging in lengthy negotiations, but you run the risk of losing the home if a more attractive offer comes in from another buyer.
