South Palm Canyond Drive in Palm Springs, CA with palm trees and Modernism Week banner

Brought to you by The Alliance of Desert Arts (TADA), more than 50 artists in 5 art districts will be on this FREE, self-guided tour. We invite you to Come meet the artists of the Coachella Valley, see artists' workspaces and learn how artists of the midcentury Modern era have influenced their contemporary work. Educational materials linking their work to the great masters will be on display.

Come meet the artists of the Coachella Valley; you will be able to see their creations, ask questions, and purchase art directly. Most importantly, you will enjoy a behind-the-scenes experience and discussion not usually available to the public.
