Then

In the 1930s, transcendentalist painter Agnes Pelton made a down payment on lot 228 in Cathedral City Cove. Her home quickly became a gathering place for early desert artists. A 1944 account by Pelton documents “the first art exhibit ever held in Cathedral City … [featuring] works of Cathedral City artists only … at least 200 people came.”

Now

In 2023, the city broke ground on the new Cathedral City Cove shopping center. The initial phase includes a Starbucks, Chipotle, Farmer Boys, and Circle K convenience store and gas station. Future plans include a pedestrian path to connect the city’s downtown plaza with the new shopping center and the Cove neighborhood.
