Desert Art Center is a non-profit oasis in Palm Springs dedicated to local creativity since the 1950s. The center features a vibrant gallery showcasing unique local art, including glass, ceramics, jewelry, painting, and photography. Sales from the gallery support local artists and fund after-school art programs for middle schools. The gallery's offerings rotate every two months, and visitors can enjoy special events and workshops on weekends. With reasonable prices and a friendly atmosphere, art lovers can explore a variety of media and even meet the artists behind the works. Located near the Rainmaker park and playhouse, this charming spot is a great way to experience the transformative power of art in the desert community.
Very cool art gallery run by and featuring local artists. Well worth stopping by!

What a delightful way to spend an afternoon in Palm Springs! I took an art class with Julianna Poldi! She has a unique technique that she patiently teaches you which makes you feel like an artist! You come away with a framable piece in 3 hours. The class is low key and held in a pleasant open air studio.
