The fifth annual Palm Springs Fine Art Fair returns to the Palm Springs Convention Center February 11-14, 2016. Presented by 40+ art galleries and dealers, the Fair offers a unique selection of art and design for collectors, curators and art aficionados. “Our guests appreciate beauty and they see the context of contemporary art and the designers of the Post War era,” says Donna Davies, Vice President of Urban Expositions Art Group.
