The Art Place in the Palm Desert Design District has been a destination for designers and homeowners for over 20 years and is a one-stop-shop for all your decor needs. These unique shops are nestled in the Palm Desert Design District located at 41801 Corporate Way, just off Hovley Lane.

Some of these studio-galleries have artists in residence working on wares that can be specially ordered or customized to please a discerning eye. As you browse The Art Place you might also see a glass blower shaping his next creation or a florist making a beautiful arrangement. The list of boutique shops include Nikko Contemporary, Jake Dent Gallery, Desert Wolff, The Interior’s Designer, McDonald and Benedict Collections, Fitzwell Interiors, D & S Fabricators, Palm Springs Flower Mart, McQuaid Glass, Nicholas Lawrence Design and coming this January, Kaminsky Productions.

The Art Place kicks off the season by hosting members of two of the valley’s biggest organizations, the Greater Palm Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce on Thursday October 20, from 5pm to 7:30pm. This will be a great opportunity for many of the deserts business leaders to see all this amazing property has to offer.
