Get In Free At Palm Springs Art Museum: Jan. 28

PALM SPRINGS, CA – As part of the Southern California Museums 13th annual Free-For-All initiative, the Palm Springs Art Museum is offering free admission on Sunday, Jan. 28.

“Palm Springs Art Museum is joining nearly 40 other institutions in offering free admission on this day, and we invite everyone to come see all the museum has to offer,” said Arlene Amick, Director of Audience Engagement. “For those who follow the Museum on social media, we encourage them to use the #FreeMuseumDay to show their support.”

Palm Springs Art Museum operators highlighted the following exhibits that visitors can enjoy:

Michael Childers: Having a Ball – In the 1970s, Childers was a photographer for Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine, giving him access to the artist and his famous New York studio, The Factory. Childers’ photographs of Warhol from that period use subtle strategies of gesture, props, and doubling devises to go beyond the inscrutable icon that the artist cultivated, bringing to light his complicated personality.

Montgomery Meets Modernism: Two Americas – This installation positions Hollywood icon George Montgomery’s own hand-crafted furniture and bronze sculptures with his collection of traditional Western paintings by such masters as Sydney Laurence, Frank Tenney Johnson and Joseph Henry Sharp, alongside modernist design by Albert Frey. This exhibition is on display through June 18.

Grass Roots: Native American Basketry of the West – For centuries Native Americans have cultivated and harvested various native plants and roots, from the arid deserts of the Southwest to the wooded forests of the Northwest, weaving them into magnificent baskets. This exhibition closes June 18.

No Glass Ceiling! Women Working in Glass, Part 1 – From the beginning, women have been an integral part of the American studio glass movement, and in today’s global world of communication and collaboration, they continue to excel. This exhibition, the first part of a series, begins to portray the multiplicity of working styles and concepts that women working in the fluid medium of glass share. No Glass Ceiling! is supported by funding from the Brautigam Kaplan Foundation.
