Palm Springs Art Museum’s newest addition – Architecture and Design Center
Palm Springs Art Museum is getting ready for a new season with a growing list of exciting changes. If you enjoy art, or even if you just love to get out and do things around the Valley and check out what’s new, then you’ll want to keep up with what’s going on with the Palm Spring Valley’s premiere Museum.
NEW ADDITION IN DOWNTOWN PALM SPRINGS
The latest change at the Palm Springs Art Museum is the opening of The Architecture and Design Center located in the hub of downtown Palm Springs. The classic Midcentury Modern International Style building that houses the Center is in itself a work of historical art, having recently received Historic Site designation. Modernism is trending now, especially in Palm Springs, where it’s popular Modernism Week held twice a year in the spring and fall attracts participants from all over the world. Not surprising, since Palm Springs has the world’s greatest concentration per capita of Midcentury Modern architecture.

And we all crave that kind of experience with the busy lives we lead.

The EIGHT4NINE menu is a celebration of West Coast Modern American Cuisine and they will offer signature dishes that absolutely make your mouth water.

Palm Springs is fortunate to be offering this new dining venue, described as “Primitive yet cutting edge; ageless and contemporary.” That is provocative enough to have me making a reservation sooner than later… how about you?
