Our History: Celebrating 25 Years of the Fine Arts Creativity Awards Program

The museum has worked with public and private high schools throughout the Coachella Valley and College of the Desert to present a juried exhibition called the Fine Arts Creativity Awards. Each year, students submit artworks that address an exhibition theme and entries are juried by museum professionals and practicing artists and two artworks receive the Fine Arts Creativity Purchase Award and are accessioned into the permanent Education Department Collection at the museum. This exhibition honors the 47 purchase award winners that have become a part of the museum’s permanent collection since this program began in 1990. The exhibition will be open May 8, 2015 to July 26, 2015 at the Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert, 72-567 Highway 111.
