Of the 80 galleries that gather this weekend at the Palm Springs Convention Center, nearly half are scheduled to have artists in attendance, including talks and book-signings in their booths. For collectors and curators, it is one of the particular facets of Art Palm Springs that brings them back year after year.  

“Having so many artists attend is one thing that makes Art Palm Springs so special,” said Donna Davies, Vice President of the Art Group for Urban Expositions, producer of the President’s Day Weekend event. “Meeting an artist at the fair can sometimes be the determining factor for someone who is just beginning to acquire art.”

Aside from co-Artist of the Year Andy Moses, the list of artists ranges from Danish light artist Mads Christiansen (Timothy Yarger Gallery) who uses patterns to elicit an emotional reaction and Israeli metal sculptor Zammy Migdal (Adamar Gallery) to Danny Heller (George Billis Gallery) whose photo-realistic paintings capture Midcentury Modern homes and buildings and the studio glass sculptures of Lino Tagliapietra (J. Willott Gallery), who hails from the legendary Venetian lagoon island of Murano. Kenton Nelson, Pine Table, 2017.
