The Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert, The Galen and Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden will host the sixth annual Meet The Galen from 6-8 p.m. The theme is “Desert Chic” — the inspiration of event chairs Susan Stein and Paulina Larson —and attendees are encouraged to make a sartorial statement by donning their most fashion-forward ensembles.
Meet the Galen promotes this distinctive 8,400-sqaure foot building that houses some of the most important art collections in the Coachella Valley, in addition to an array of educational programming for visitors of all ages.

Saks Fifth Avenue will have a cosmetic activation as well.
