This video is from the Opening Reception of the most recent ACE (Artists Council Exhibition), which is our premier juried show of the year. The opening was held February 6, 2025.
Interviews with art students and their teachers complement this video overview of the fourth annual Young Artists Exhibition (YAE), including footage from the opening reception held on March 15, 2025, for the young artists from 13 area high schools who were juried into the show. This year's YAE received generous support from the California Desert Arts Council.
An introductory video to the Artists Council at the Artists Center in Palm Desert showcasing the facility as well as the 10 exhibitions and almost 100 classes and programs presented annually to support artists and community throughout the Coachella Valley (2025).
This video features one of our Alzheimer's Classes held in early 2025. These sessions take place twice a month (led by the fabulous Steve Revis), with both those living with memory loss and their caretakers participating in special art projects.
