Since its inception in 2012, the increasingly popular fair has more than doubled the number of attending galleries from just over 30 in its first year to more than 60 in 2017. The show draws thousands of art collectors and patrons each year from around the globe.

Since its early editions, Art Palm Springs has been a draw for curators, collectors, designers and celebrities that include Cheech Marin, Jodie Foster, Alexa Davalos, Udo Kier, Shelby Lynne, Rain Phoenix, and award-winning designers Christopher Kennedy, Dann Foley and Erin Valencich.

The 2018 Artists of the Year honorees are pioneering California artist Ed Moses, represented by William Turner Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, Calif., and Andy Moses who is presented by Melissa Morgan Fine Art in Palm Desert, Calif.

The duo join the ranks of Art Palm Springs’ Artist of the Year impressive list of Post War and Contemporary honorees including Judy Chicago, Mel Ramos, Jennifer Bartlett, Fletcher Benton, Larry Bell, and Lita Albuquerque.
