This year sees the tenth anniversary of the festival ever since its inception in 2012, then called Art Palm Springs. Located in the Palm Springs Exhibition Center in Downtown Palm Springs and featuring multiple exhibitions, curated spaces, talks and other events, Intersect Palm Springs allows residents and tourists to enjoy.
This Year's Curated Spaces
Intersect Palm Springs features two main curated spaces this year, Good Vibrations and ZZYZX Redux. With a theme of the environment and local history, these spaces seek to educate and inform in an entertaining and fulfilling way.
Good Vibrations
Despite the name, it doesn't look like the Beach Boys have much to do with this one. Offering an in depth look at the influence of geometry, color and light in art that evolved out of Southern California in the 1950s, this exhibit looks at how these elements have been utilized in the local art scene.
ZZYZX Redux
With an eye to history and the environmentalism of the area, this art exhibit seeks to raise awareness of the harm caused by human activity, as well as the effects of dislocation and exploitation that's happened in the past. Featuring the work of over 10 local artists, this exhibit has photographs, sculptures, sketches and paintings.
