As a new initiative, our first Fall Show, will take place from October 14th to 18th at the Desert Art Center in Palm Springs. This gives our members a second opportunity to display and sell their work. Members may submit two paintings but, because of the gallery’s size, the second submission’s display will be subject to available space and will be chosen on a random basis. Again, we look forward to displaying, and selling many of our members’ works. An submission link will be available here from October 1st to October 9th. Entry fee will be $15.
