The Mad Hatter, himself, could not have topped the incredible extravaganza enjoyed by Palm Springs Art Museum patrons, visitors and community leaders as they entertained a festive crowd on April 24 for its Tenth Annual Membership Drive and Party, “Meet the Museum."   

The event kicked off White Party Palm Springs Weekend, pulling out all the stops, with an elaborate Alice in Wonderland theme encouraging guests to dress in “themed costume or desert chic." Rabbit ears, overcoats coats, and large bow ties were en vogue while fanciful fashions representing Alice and even the Queen of Hearts were on hand. “Her Highness” would be pleased with the turnout as this was definitely an affair fit for royalty.
