Over the past four years, PSFAF has become a premier art event in the U.S. “The best LA art fair is in Palm Springs,” says Lia Skidmore (Skidmore Contemporary Art, Santa Monica, CA) ofPSFAF.
The unique combination of PSFAF and Modernism Week continues to highlight the expanding art and design scene in the renaissance of Palm Springs, which includes the recently added the downtown Architecture Design Center, Edwards Harris Pavilion of the Palm Springs Art Museum, a growing gallery scene and popular Uptown Design District. “The Palm Springs Fine Art Fair has become the highlight of the art and culture calendar of the Coachella Valley,” says Christian Hohmann of HOHMANN Fine Art, Palm Desert, CA.
