We are on a roll...

Dear Friends and Fans of the DAC,

We hope this newsletter finds you healthy and enjoying these beautiful desert fall days. In this edition, we bring your attention to events around the corner, save the dates, and nods to notable things of the past. The annual all members Inclusion Show opens November 7th in conjunction with Palm Springs Pride Week. Come in and vote for your favorite art work as we continue our People's Choice awards. Our Holiday Shop is back and should open on November 19th through early January. Please note, the gallery and entire building will be CLOSED on November 17th and 18th for a city scheduled fumigation and insulation project. We will reopen on the 19th barring any issues.

Also, we have revived our publicity email so it will now be a much easier and prudent way to communicate with the DAC on all things related to promotions and publicity for our members and supporters. Do you have an artist by artist interview to share? Artful tidbits for beginning or emerging artists (and even us pros)? An image of where your art, purchased at DAC, went to live? How about a favorite quote that inspires your studio work? Anything else related to our events, educational opportunities, field trips, socials...or simply some questions related to information shared? If so, please contact Diana Shay Diehl directly at publicity@desertartcenter.org. If sending photos, please send NO MORE than 2-4 of your best along with some information about what and why (event, people names, date) related to this current season and DAC. No personal gallery or art show info, please. No guarantees they will get used but we'd love to have member and community input in shining the light on all things DAC.

And, speaking of publicity, Andrew and Scott Marr have joined the publicity team to help bolster our social media presence as well as some other juicy fun things the board has been brewing. Welcome Andrew and Scott! 

Finally, the window is open as we call to art anyone interested in being juried into the DAC. You do not need to be a member to apply. Link for Online Juried Shows is below. The deadline is November 6, 2025. Good luck!

We look forward to seeing you all here.
