The Photography Collection Council (PCC) is the newest support council for the Palm Springs Art Museum, and has been formed to support a newly articulated photographic mission and focus for the museum. The PCC will serve as the principal support group for the development of a collection that reflects the collecting and exhibition of photography anchored in depictions of natural, social, urban, and built environments. PCC's main function is to promote the museum's goal to become one of the country's leading repositories of photographs as a source of in-house and traveling exhibitions, scholarly study, and publications.
Support the collecting and exhibition of photography through financial and photographic contributions. Attend symposia, lectures, and collection-related tours and events. For membership benefits and further details related to the council's mission and goals, please contact Brooke Devenney at 760.322.4818 or email bdevenney@psmuseum.org.

Linda Connor Prints
Monday, December 14 – Ongoing
Special Edition 8 x 10 Prints
Become a part of the first comprehensive look at Linda Connor's body of work over the past thirty years by owning a unique, signed photograph developed from one of the negatives used to produce the prints in the exhibition. Linda Connor produces luminous contact prints by exposing her negatives from an 8 x 10 view camera with light from the sun in her Bay Area garden. She then tones them in gold chloride, adding an element of glowing tonality to their light-infused surfaces. Please support the Council's mission to foster the growth of the museum's photography collection.
