Art, cultural and entertainment events are staples of the Palm Springs experience. But while these events come and go, the enduring presence of the Palm Springs Art Museum offers us a physical space to experience the visual and performing arts.

The Palm Springs Museum is located in three separate buildings. Each one offers opportunities to explore our past, present and possible future, through the eyes and imagery of generations of artistic geniuses. Go see each one, take your time there is so much to enjoy and learn.

Andy Warhol: Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
Trough May 28th, 2018, Palm Springs Art Museum, Annenberg Wing and Clayes III Wing
The recent Andy Warhol Exhibit is a prime example of the wonderful artwork and collaboration of The Palm Springs Museum and its many generous donors, members and supporters.
Whether you love his work or hate it, you can appreciate his uncanny (no pun intended) artistic appeal. His iconic Pop Art prints echoed a time when economic prosperity, consumerism, and rebellion against accepted social and moral norms created celebrities of the most defiant. His talent and artistic representation of the famous allowed him to revel in his own celebrated popularity.
The Museum’s retrospective encompasses over 250 works over four decades, on loan from Schnitzer’s comprehensive collection. It provides insight into his use of the silkscreen process to produce recognizable artworks such as Campbell’s Soup Can (Tomato) and Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn).
