Located centrally off Highway 111 in the heart of Palm Desert, the Artists Center features a stunning main Gallery and eight adjacent smaller galleries showcasing the works of our almost 700 artist members. With its beautiful landscaped outdoor spaces including the Artists Center Patio Terrace, this venue offers wonderful event spaces to rent to members and third-party groups (corporate, government and nonprofit) for private events after hours. The Artists Center is a unique venue for cocktail parties, sit-down dinners, small concerts or musical events (the interior has great acoustics), lectures, or weddings. It can also be used for movie and television location filming.
