Returning exhibitors are coming with new presentations and freshideas, and we look forward to welcoming first-time exhibitors to the Fair. We will also have special exhibitions, panel discussions, performances, and other exciting programs—many of which respond directly to the Coachella Valley region.”

One of the highlights will be a performance and spoken word series organized by Shana Nys Dambrot (Arts Editor, LA Weekly) will present works by Los Angeles and Coachella Valley artists. Explains Nys Dambrot: “I am truly thrilled to be working with Intersect Palm Springs again, this time curating an as-yet-untitled performance and spoken word series across the opening night and all regular Fair dates, activating key points in the main exhibition hall, entrance lobby, outdoor portico, and cactus garden across from the entrance with an eclectic group of artists, ranging from multilingual spoken word, to sound bath, to site-specific dance, and augmented reality installations.”
