Dear Friends,

As we approach the end of 2023, we reflect upon a remarkable year of growth and revitalization at Palm Springs Art Museum. 

We are grateful for your ongoing support which enabled the museum to mount eight special exhibitions this past year, as well as an impressive array of educational and public programs. 

The results speak for themselves. In 2023, our attendance was 55% above pre-pandemic levels. Plus, we saw an astounding 60,000+ students, families, and community members participate in our educational and public programs. If you had the opportunity to attend any of these events, you undoubtedly witnessed the vibrant energy and engagement of our audiences.

We hope you share in our excitement as we steadily progress toward our vision of becoming a more inclusive institution.

To continue on this ambitious path, we humbly request your support for our end-of-year annual appeal.

We are delighted to report that our finances overall remain healthy. We again ended our fiscal year with a budget surplus, which we are using to install solar panels and complete other crucial capital projects. 

However, our journey is far from complete. We still face significant staffing gaps in key departments, and we aspire to present ever more impactful exhibitions and broaden our range of educational offerings.

This is why your support is so meaningful to us. We kindly request that you consider making a fully tax-deductible end-of-year gift. Your contribution is instrumental in enabling us to realize our mission of enriching lives through the arts.

Thank you for investing in Palm Springs Art Museum and the growth of our community. I look forward to seeing you here soon. 

With gratitude,

Adam Lerner
