In 2011, Palm Springs Art Museum purchased the historic E. Stewart Williams–designed Santa Fe Federal Savings and Loan building in downtown Palm Springs and transformed it into its Architecture and Design Center. The stunning, 13,000- square-foot glass and steel building with floor-to-ceiling windows houses the museum’s design-related collections and archives and contains a modern gift boutique.

When Palm Springs Art Museum opened in 1938 in the La Plaza area downtown, its focus was on natural science exhibits. Now situated in an E. Stewart Williams–designed building against the San Jacinto Mountains, it has become a beacon of fine art and culture. Sept. 29 through March 26, the museum presents digital artist Petra Cortright, whose landscapes and portraiture lean into tools and platforms that are native to the internet age. Nov. 25 to May 21, locally raised installation artist Phillip K. Smith III — known internationally for such projects as “Lucid Stead” (the mirror house) from Desert X in 2017 and the Detroit Skybridge — will display spectacular experiments with light and space created over the last two decades.

This nonprofit regional theater company is dedicated to enrichment and education through the performing arts. Production highlights this season include: Palm Springs Getaway; A Musical Romp! (back by popular demand, the feel-good show gives audiences a glimpse of the history and icons that made Palm Springs famous); Del Shores’ Daddy’s Dyin’ Who’s Got the Will?; Little Women; and Hair. The theater opened in 1997 in a historic building that previously housed one of the desert’s first schools. That educational legacy lives on with their summer kids’ camp, which teaches acting, singing, dance, stagecraft, makeup, and other theater skills.
Season Packages
